Ok final post. The under may hit but i would prefer it to be windy also. Two good defenses;sure handed running backs; and yes pouring rain would help alot too if i were to bet under among other variables. I still may. Didn't mean to offend anyone i guess ill just observe for awhile.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions no one should be offended unless they are calling someone out. You shouldn't have to apologize to anyone golfing. There are plenty of variables in this game but NEB on the road they are gonna try to establish the run in my opinion and not for nothing who has Mizz beat? They have a bunch of first year starters on Offense and this will be their first test. I must say i have been impressed with Mizz QB but this is a different game. We'll get alot out of him from this game that's for sure

I think everyone is over playing this weather thing as I sit and think about it. My fresman year at Missouri in 03, it rained all game(not even close to what people are saying it looks like right now, but still) and that game flew over to the tune of 60+ points.

I think I am going to make a small play on the under go big on the Tigers.

EVERYING MOVING A LITTLE FASTER...So take what I wrote below and speed it up by an hour, maybe two.  that may be bad news for tailgaters...better news by game time!

 

Ponchos and jackets are still in order tonight Tiger fans!  It may not be as dry as we had hoped for with yesterday's update...but we are still confident the heavy, steady rain that we saw this morning will not be repeated this evening.  As noted in our hour-by-hour forecast below, there will be a notable break in the precipitation for a few hours this afternoon.  However, a second wave of energy will ride along the front and will likely push some of the rain further northward back up into the Columbia area.  The nature of this rain will be light and spotty, tapering to drizzle by the second half of the game.  Please also note that the breeze will pick up from the north once this wave passes, and winds could gust as high as 18mph by kickoff

Precipitations equalling unders is a myth.  Don't fall for it.  The only weather that factors into under IMO is lots and lots of WIND !!!

lots of rain means it will be harder to tackle
meaning more points

Another stat for anyone looking to bet the under tonight is the fact that both these teams have already played 6 unders in the 8 games combined, I'm looking at a final score: 21-17...Neb

This game goes over.  Nebraska's "#1 ranked scoring defense" is a result of inferior competition.

Update:  Looks like the back edge of the rain will clear through the area sometime in the first half. A cold front is moving in on the back edge of the rain area and gusty winds from the North will come in behind the rain area. around 15 to 20 mph possible.  Rain does not look like it will happen the whole game as was said was possible when I started this post.

I agree that people seem to be jumping on the under for the sole reason that it's raining ... which in itself probably isn't a good reason. But you have to look at it a bit deeper.
 
In wet conditions teams are more likely to try and keep the ball on the ground (particularly Nebraska who have a strong running game). More running, means more short gains which means longer drives and more time being taken off the clock which means less time for scoring.
 
That's the reason I'm on the under - not because some water is magically going to stop these teams from getting into the endzone.

I agree that you can't base your total on weather but i don't think that NEB wants to play that type of game where they wanna go up and down the field...They wanna run and play Defense and use the weather to their advantage

Sorry betting unders based on rain is a sure way to go broke. Asways has been always will be.
