Nebraska Surprisingly Open as 2 Possession Underdogs to Penn StateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

There are some commercials. Bach will come up with a gym. One of these days, we're going to have that conversation. We're just going to have that conversation. It is a big, and it is not going to go wrong. Nobody wants to. It's the conversation we need, but nobody wants to have. Interesting times.

again, a big week as the Hustk travel to Penn State. Nine and a half, was that the point spread I saw? Yeah, nine and a half. And I, again, other than the intrigue of what the Matrix knows that we don't know, right? Because the odds makers generally get it right. So if you say the over under is 45-ish, 44 and a half. that nine and a half, then the quick math says they are expecting a 28 or 27, 17 Penn State win.

Like covering the over-under point differential. Bob, what say you do that? I was surprised at where it was, very surprised. It makes it a very interesting game because I think Nebraska fans are going to view this as pretty much a must win for the program,

move forward. Penn State's in a tough spot. Tickets are seven bucks to get in, by the way, I don't think it's going to be the craziest of atmospheres. But then you walk away from if you lose that game, you could have people say, well, they're, you know, they're two possession underdogs. I mean, because in likelihood, I mean, 2717, we're not out of the, like, that's not out of the realm of, but I would ask the question, wasn't that more likely the opposite. Like, I almost would have been less surprised if Nebraska was the nine and a half point favorite.

Oh, yeah, right? Like, I, I, but the Matrix knows something, right? Um, and so they came out with the most recent bowl projections. Bowl protection. And the bold projections will tell you not only where you are, it's a great GPS.

It tells you where you are, right? How you got here. what they think is going to happen along the way. So everybody knows that all these projectors know that Nebraska, where they currently stand, and then they have games remaining against Penn State and Iowa. Right? Now, Bach, I would tell you if Iowa was a nine and a half point favorite

against Nebraska, I'd be pissed. I'd be offended. I'd be offended, but I also couldn't be surprised. based on this i cannot be surprised at what the point spread is going to regardless of what happens at penn state there's nothing that can happen to pin state right other than pen state beating nebraska by nine and a half by by ten that would make me feel like yeah okay i i would 10 point paper there's no except i like i'm just i want to throw hands i would punch ghosts But based on the projections, the projections have put in place that, and again, you can have the ESPN poll, the CBS poll, the On 3 poll, whatever you want to do.

But they've kind of landed Nebraska in two places. One puts them at the Vegas Bowl. Vegas Bowl. My eyebrows raised because at that Vegas Bowl, set opponent in the projection is Utah. Harrison gives me grief every night during late night. about the possibility of Nebraska and Utah playing each other in Vegas, no less.

Not sure how I would, but that says the thing, right? Because you would think that that requires that you win one of the two for the Vegas bowl, right? I'm not out of my head. Yeah, I mean, at least as far as kind of thinking

Utah's not going to face the 7 and 5 team, I wouldn't think, in the bowl game. Right. Like no, we're 13ers. something right right right so you expect him which goes against the odds make right athon has the huskers in Tampa in the Reliacquest Bowl facing Tennessee which also would kind of suggest that they expect Nebraska to win a game of the next two maybe even win both because if they win both they're going to music skiddy bowl

i think that's i think that's how i think that's how that would work but bach what say you it's uh i i just find it all intriguing you know bowl game aside i'll be completely i like the i like the destination i like the fun of it i don't know if imma johnson will play in it you know that sort of stuff i don't know what it's going to look like um so so you don't want to play somebody good well it's more about it's more about iowa and penn state to me than than the bull game unfortunately i've been i've long defended bowl games i i can't do it anymore they just don't mean me as much as they used to sorry i but don't you but don't you want that don't you want

the best ball possible oh yeah you sure you sir you still do yeah but i think that's going to be an indication of if nebraska if nebraska's nine and three and had into a bull game for a chance to go go 10 and three they haven't done that since 2003 So, you know, win percentage wise. So which third are you in? Which third are you in? O and two, one and one, two and up. Probably one in one, which is definitely sitting on the fence.

Right? Like the third's rule, but good to know. Appreciate you. Thank you for hanging out. Adam Kerker. We'll pick up the microphone and carry you through to 1 o'clock and then Bach in a black shirt. old school and then a full Monday all the way up to midnight here on
