just heard tonight Roy Helu Neb running back has H1N1 flu. Not sure of his status for thurs though

Well looks like I am the first on Missouri. I had to live in Nebraska and the hype is so high on them. They played one road game lost. Missouri is not a good place for NU to play. I know one thing though with all the cappers on here I always go with the majority on these polls.

Thanks for giving some 411 in your pick St. Bobby. This really needs to be not only your pick, but why. I didnt vote yet, but MU should NOT BE RANKED! This is a team that struggled @ home with a rebuilding Bowling Green team, and if Nevada doesnt fumble going in for the tie who knows what happens there. Nebraska is a much more talented team here vs an overated has been. Nebraska has played a much tougher scheldule, and the more talented team here. If h1n1 is hitting the Huskers hard we need to hear about it!

There is some truth to that, but that being said Pelini said it was not an issue.......
Goto http://www.huskers.com/ and watch the "Football Post Practice Report (Oct. 6th 2009)" if you want to watch what Pelini says about it.

I am not sure about nebraska playing a tougher schedule. Nebraska played 3 sun belt teams. Missouri atleast played teams from bigger conferences. But I agree I live here and can't stand alot of the fans. So I am usually wrong with picking games they are involved.

Thanks Sarge! Nebraska played @ Va Tech lost 15-16, but turned it over 2 times, and had to settle for 6 fg's. Huskers rushed for 207 vs Va Tech and held them to 89. MU gave up 218 rushing yards to Nevada. MU's passing game sets up their run game, and with heavy to steady rain forecasted all day in Columbia, I dont see MU being able to run and Nebraska should run it down their throats. Huskers win by 10.

I like Mizzou in this game!!!

[Big Country 5]

I think Nebraska wins by 10.

I like Nebraska here. I think they are too physical for Missouri. I watched Missou vs Nevada and they struggled throughout that game. I like their young QB but he tends to get a little wild at times, overthrowing receivers by a mile. Nebraska is pretty nasty on D, despite their tendency to give up some deep plays now and then.

Missouri has won the last 3 games in this series plus Missouri looked great against a poor Illinois team. In it's only test of the year, Nebraska lost a nail-biter at Virginia Tech. Missouri has always given Nebraska fits in Columbia and being on ESPN for a conference night game gives them all the reason they need to beat up on the mighty Huskers and then head to the sororities for some post game debatcherie.

PLAY MIZZOU (+3.5)
