I don't really know about the Hawaii-Vandy game...the game is at Hawaii, and Vanderbilt lost their opener last year to East Tennessee St. Hawaii doesn't exactly bring back a good roster though...
The Nebraska-Northwestern game is in Dublin. The returning rosters aren't real impressive. no idea really
good luck

Not the vote of confidence I was looking for. Thanks for the feedback!

Phil Steele likes Northwestern
This is Northwestern’s first ever game outside the US. Northwestern is 3-2 SU and ATS in the series the last 5 years but last year Nebraska led 35-7 at half and their 49 point win was their
Las Vegas Total largest ever vs a Big Ten opponent. Last year Northwestern was one of the few teams in college football that was inexperienced as they had just 8 starters back while most teams had 80-90% of their roster. The Cats went from the Big Ten title game to a miserable 3-9 season where they were 152 ypg in Big Ten play. They should be a vastly improved team this year on both sides of the ball. Pat Fitzgerald is 6-3 ATS at neutral sites and 18-9 ATS as an AD. Nebraska was also 3-9 last year but were a much better team as they were +56 ypg in Big Ten play and had an amazing 7 Net Close losses. Nebraska is 9-18 ATS as a favorite the last 5 years. Six of their eight positions rank in my top units while Northwestern has just two.
Northwestern will have much improved QB play with Hilinski having a full year with the team and has a 1,000 yard rusher in Evan Hull and he is running behind what could be Fitzgeralds’s top offensive line in his 17 years. Nebraska is moving to more of a pass offense led by Texas transfer Casey Thompson but it may take a little while for the offense to click.
Last years result should have a well motivated Northwestern to keep this one much closer and an upset would not even surprise me.

I was leaning Nebraska's way but I also hear that NW has been pretty much up on even years and down on odd years. Betting week 0 probably not a good idea. |

I trust Steele's analysis more than just about anyone. And, this was on his FREE, pre-season newsletter. If he EVER wanted to be right, it'd be on this one. |

I picked Northwestern but I also picked Iowa to beat Michigan in the BIG championship last year and the Hawkeyes lost by 39.

I've always felt Pat Fitzgerald was a great person and one of the best 'most with the least' football coaches of today.
Northwestern has some semblance of 'standards'., so nice going coach Fitzgerald and the Wildcats.
