Has anyone else discovered yet that the road teams play better? I take action from a friend and he only takes road underdogs (or small favs) and I take a bath week after week. I can look at the paper in the morning and know who he's taking. He took Giants @ Dallas, then Dallas @ Giants, Philly @ Wash and then took Wash @ Philly. Took Pats @ Pitt, and now will take Indy @ Pats. Today takes VT @ Mia, OSU @ Iowa, Neb @ TT, and Ark @ Miss St.

Hardly ever are his road teams blown out, but so many times he is a winner by halftime.

he is 8-1-1 this week so far. Soon to be 10-1-1.. Done venting..

Ark -3.5 FG in OT to win by 3, misses they end up winning by 7.. When it rains it pours. Neb -2.5 , can't wait to see how this one ends

This is one of the most disgracefully officiated games I've ever seen. The imbalance is criminal, and the calls that are being made (and not made) show plain intent to hamper Bellini's team. The game is being given to A&M, who can't even take it.

And by the way, he's going to blow you up with the Giants tomorrow.

Brutal game for Nebraska backers. The roughing the passing penalty was a joke and led to the winning FG. Not to mention, possession before, ref tosses a PI flag on A&M and then they pick it up!

Plus, Pelini himself hit with a 15-yard penalty for arguing? A football coach flagged?

Refs handed the game to A&M on a platter.

Certain Nebraska players were clearly targeted while Texas A&M got away with holding all night. Do I think the refs were told to give A&M the game? No. Do I think they were told to watch out for Nebraska players Eric Martin and Courtney Osbourne because they are "dirty?" Absolutely.

Then there was the guy that took a 30-yard hit for losing his cool. That was rare. :D

Nothing worse than when the announcers sound surprised that the GIants came back....

If i was an announcer i would have said, "Philly is up 13 now but in about 10 mins they will be down 1" its unreal how its so predictable that the away teams win..
