Las Vegas already likes Nebraska’s 2019 squad with a projected win total of 8.5 games this season. Now that we are underway in training camp for coach Scott Frost, official betting lines for four 2019 games are now available compliments of Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

Of the four games considered college football games of the year, Nebraska is favored in three.

The only underdog situation (so far) features the Ohio State Buckeyes and their Sept. 28 visit to campus. Will ESPN College GameDay join them?

Nebraska is a six-point underdog to the Buckeyes at home, which is an interesting line considering last year’s result. The Huskers nearly upset Ohio State in Columbus last year but ultimately fell short 36-31. Adrian Martinez threw for 266 yards, ran for 72 and scored three total touchdowns. This time, it will be against a new-look defense after Greg Schiano and Alex Grinch left the staff during the coaching change. Jeff Hafley and two Michigan assistants join the fray.

Three three games in which Nebraska is an early Vegas favorite come against Colorado (-9), Purdue (-3) and Wisconsin (-4.5). The Huskers lost to all three of them during Frost’s first season.

The Huskers are also a 10/1 bet to win the Big Ten Championship, behind only Michigan and Ohio State.

“"I would say our expectations are definitely to win that Big Ten Championship," said Husker tight end Jack Still last week. "I know that was our expectation last year, but unfortunately that didn’t end up happening. With all the work we’ve put in, seeing that tail end of the season, you can tell that’s a goal that’s very attainable, and I know everyone has been working toward it. Coach Frost has been preaching that. We’re going to embrace it. I didn’t come here to go 4-8 as I said before. I came here to put a ring on my finger. I want to win the Big Ten. That’s just personally how I feel and why I came to Nebraska. That’s how a lot of other people feel too.”

Nebraska opens at home against South Alabama then travels to Colorado in search of revenge for last season’s loss. Colorado changed coaches after seven-straight losses last season, and hired Georgia defensive coordinator Mel Tucker to take over the program.

“There are in-state kids here who don’t care a thing about CU, so it’s a sell job,” Tucker told The Denver Post last month in a “bulletin board material” fashion. “It’s like, you’ve got to win games before they’ll even consider you. I’ve been through that before, that’s just how it is. There are kids right now that you (ask), ‘Well, who are your top guys?’ And they’ll say, ‘Nebraska.’ And you look and say, ‘Well, what has Nebraska done?’ But in their mind, that’s like way, way better than CU.”
