Nebraska vs. Missouri - Thursday Night CFL

Believe it or not, there are other sporting events taking place tonight than the MLB playoffs.

Unpickable Master Lock - CFL:

Nebraska @ Missouri - Line is Nebraska -3.5 - This is another tough, tough college game to call. On paper, we think Nebraska is the better team and figure that their impressive defense can prevail in a battle against the Tigers' potent offense. However, we are very hard pressed to go against Rule #1 laid out in last Thursday's post (e.g. hard to pick against a home dog in a prime time, nationally televised game). We're going to cave in to the power of rule #1 yet again. Missouri will feed off of the home crowd and the ESPN cameras just enough. We think this is a tight, tight college game (unlike some of the college coeds the Locks met at the Cuse in the mid-90s). We're thinking a last minute FG might be the deciding factor in this one. Regardless, we'll take the points. The pick is Missouri +3.5 in a game that we'll call 23-21 Nebraska. LOCK IT UP
