Nebraska installed as a six-point favorite
Nebraska, ranked No. 8 in the AP poll this week, has been installed as a six-point favorite over UW in the opening Las Vegas line.
UW is 1-1 both straight-up and against the spread, losing both ways against BYU and winning both ways against Syracuse (covering as a 13-point favorite).
In other lines involving Pac-10 teams:
— SMU is a 20-point favorite at home against Washington State;
— Cal is a 2.5-point favorite at Nevada in a Friday night game;
— USC is a 20-point favorite at Minnesota;
— Oregon State is a 14-point favorite at home against Louisville;
— Iowa is a one-point favorite at Arizona;
— Stanford is a 16-point favorite at home against Wake Forest;
— and there is no line on the UCLA-Houston game, surely due to the uncertainty over the health of Houston QB Case Keenum).
