Yesterday seemed to be the optimism of predictions. Today, the pessimism.

CollegeFootballNews (via Fox Sports) picks Nebraska 27-13.

Stewart Mandel of SI.com doesn’t think Pitt scores a TD, losing 24-3.

From SportsAdvisors.com (also via Fox Sports) comes this commentary about betting the game.

Nebraska is 1-1 SU and 0-1 ATS after losing at home last week to two-touchdown underdog Southern Miss. The Cornhuskers are only 4-6 against the number on the road the past two years, but have covered seven of their last 11 overall.

Pittsburgh beat Ohio 24-3 as a 17-point home chalk in its season opener last week. The Panthers have covered eight of their last 11 as a home pup, but are only 5-8 against the spread at Heinz Field the past two years.

Pitt is still a 4 point underdog. I take those comments to mean they just don’t know about this game. I do know that SportsBook.com has the over/under at a whopping 42.5. I’d bet the under if the wife would actually let me, and I had money, and an online account.
