Fan Duel evidently has our O/U at 7.5 wins... Thoughts?
- Thread starter Yellow Snow
- Start date
I like the over too, but will be betting the under.
Thus guaranteeing the over will hit.

I think I'd take the over on that, but wouldn't argue that it's too low either.
The likely losses are Iowa, WVU, KU, KSU and Utah. I wouldn’t be surprised to see all of those happen. On the other hand I expect WVU to come down to earth a bit next year. On paper KSU should eat us alive, but it’s in Ames so that helps. It all comes down to whether we have an offensive line. If we can get back to the days of having a running game I’m betting the over. If not…no more than 7 wins.
I think they beat Iowa, lose to Utah, and then drop another game somewhere.
Our schedule looks great actually.
Double digit win total is not out of the question.
Open up the offense and let her rip. Please!
LOL - Yes sometimes it is easy to guess ages on CF by people's expectations. ISU football only won 6 games total in a 4 season stretch from 1994-1997.
The line is set correctly for action. 6.5 is too low and there’s no way you could set that at 8.5 because expecting 9 wins in the season from Iowa State even without OU and Texas is lofty. Books would get smoked as 8 wins seems like the realistic high end. I think we can absolutely win 9 games for what it’s worth. But from a betting standpoint the line makes sense
I think next year could be the easiest football schedule we’ve had…ever?
If there is any year where we finally hit 10 wins, it will be this one.
Only winning 8 would be a huge disappointment, IMO. 7 wins or less is just unacceptable when you dig into the schedule.

I saw a video where three guys were discussing the Big 12 and the O/U for wins put out by Vegas. Iowa State was listed at 7.5. When evaluating these O/Us, the guys mostly picked the under. Iowa State was one of a few exceptions where they picked the over and two of them said they were more confident about that pick than any of the others.
Kansas State and Utah were top of the heap at 9.5
I did the same thing in the Super Bowl last week and got paid. My heart and fandom was with Brock, my wallet bet on the Chiefs.
Pound the over. CMC sold me on this season at the We Will Collective event. He talked about:
- 20 returning starters.
- The staff "sprints" to work each morning.
- Wants to win the Big 12 conference outright.
- And even teased us about hosting a Playoff game in Jack Trice Stadium in December!
