ISU -33 vs Kansas this weekend

[Neptune78]

I haven't seen many say we're terrible....

You must be talking about the national media and not all the whiners on CF.

I have seen the media being on par with us whiners. Some have us ranked about 55th. Others calling us Pretenders. Bowl Projections giving us the Liberty or Texas Bowl. No matter how you slice it, we've gone down hard.

Kansas is better than UNLV. With that said, I wouldn’t touch this line. It definitely is a spread Iowa State can cover. Some of you use way to much emotion on placing money against Iowa State spreads.

Aren't we 1-3 ATS this year? Betting against ISU has been a solid move this season.

Yeah. Favored in both losses and were favored by ~26 against UNI. Only covered UNLV.

How often do the first 4 games against the spread predict the next game against the spread though?

Well that’s not the biggest of sample sizes there.

ISU isn't scoring 33 points.

They scored 29 against Baylor last week and they have a much better defense than KU.

True, but they were having to play catch up. I predict a situation similar to UNI. ISU knows KU can't score on them, so conservative play calling by ISU.

So much for making money with the other teams money line. damn

UNI's defense is superior to anything KU is putting out there.

 

[jblock]

ISU 31-3 and we will drop out of top 50

 

[cytor]

If Dunn is playing, I'll take KU to cover.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

ISU isn't scoring 33 points.

Come on man, they will put up at least 24 in the first half and another 21 in the second. Kansas won't score.

 

[randomfan44]

Kansas has been decent in the first halves of games this year but atrocious after halftime. Hopefully rthis doesnt get out of hand and everyone on both sides stays healthy.

 

[cytor]

How close is this game to selling out? Anyone in the know?

 

[aeroclone]

Well that’s not the biggest of sample sizes there.

4 games is a third of the regular season. That isn't insignificant. You aren't ever going to have a big sample size in college football.

It's a depth issue but they've looked well coached in the little I've seen.

 

[cycfan1]

We didn’t even beat them by 33 last year when we were playing better and Kansas was worse than this year. So not entirely sure we can cover that.

Why does everyone think Kansas is better than last year?

They beat a garbage FCS team.
Got 40 pointed (at home) against Baylor.
Got rolled by a poor ACC team.
Got rolled by a G5 (albeit good team).

What gives you any reason to think they any better than what they put out last year.

They were 28 point dogs to Coastal Carolina for crying out loud... they aren't going to be less of an underdog on the road against ISU.
