It's never too early.
First one to 50 wins!
NU 52
MU 45 holy sh!t squaw even delusional man picked the skers to lose this one. you're out there on kool aid island all by yourself.
That's fine. I don't think that there's any team on the schedule that the Skers can't beat. They also could lose to any team left on the schedule. That being said, it's not going to make me feel any better to pick against my team if they should lose, so why would I? |

Using that logic...why would you ever pick against your team if it's just about the emotional effect? |

| I do not think it will be the shootout everyone is predicting. Games hyped like this rarely are. And if it is a ball control game, I like NU. |

I agree with the under...I called that as well earlier.
I don't see NU scoring well against Mizzou defense on the road though. I'd personally take NU and give up the 7, but we'll see.  |

We will see. I happen to think the NU offense will be well balanced against MU's defense. This passing game works well--when receivers are looking the ball in. Sam is a gunslinger and I bet he gets loose in this one. |

Not just about the emotional effect. As I stated, I don't think that there's a game left on the schedule that we can't win. I think that the Skers offense can score on any of those defenses and the defense can only get better at this point.

Well, there are basically two ways to pick...
1. The emotional fan-based way
2. The objective observer way
Being a fan of a team it's difficult not to confound the two for most people.
My point was simply that if you're just going on 'feeling' (as you said something about feeling better), which is largely emotional, then really why would you ever pick against your team anyway?
I think I see what your point is...which I don't think it's more emotional based...I just personally wouldn't of used something subjective as how I felt in my reasoning in that case.
It's a fine point, really, no big deal...just curious to see how objective you'll be over these next games on the predictions. |

I *think* so. I think the total is more like 50, but that is purely speculation based on seeing how many of these *shootouts* fail to live up to the hype.
Having said that, I can see something like 10-7 (pickem) at the half and then a 45-42 finish....lol. Neither defense has bragging rights here, so who knows.

I see your point and my NU predictions on a message board are probably more emotionaly based. Would I put money on the the MU game? No. Last week I think that I posted a cover-score for the ISU game, but in my weekly pool for $$ I picked ISU.
So I guess my point is why would I make a meaningless prediction of my team losing this game when I think that it's going to be close and NU has a 50/50 shot to win.
That and the next big game that Pinkel wins will be his first. The guys a poster child for choking in big conference games.

Yeah, like vranged says a number of these hyped shooting matches end up sometimes being offensive struggles at some level. I think this game has this feel especially with NU's history with Mizzou.
Will be interesting to see.

Fair enough...it clarifies the issue for me. I was just mainly curious the way you'd phrased it.

mizzou doesn't have a ball control type offense. chase daniel will be throwin the rock all night long. nu line won't get to him and the d backs won't cover. mizzou's d has similar problems. |

| Worse. BC has won the conf games necessary to make it to the big 12 champ game. Any time Pinkel's sniffed the champ game he's pissed it down his leg. |

| in that respect yes. he's also choked at home when he should have won like against ou last year. mizzou had them on the ropes and pinkel stayed in the spread inside the 3 yrd line. |
