VEGAS: A new point spread has been released for 2017

The South Point sports book threw up some new point spreads for the 2017 college football season on Thursday.

All in all, I see this as good news for Iowa State. The sports book has the Cyclones as a mere 3-point underdog to Texas in its Big 12 opener on Thursday night, Sept. 28. 

That game will also be the Big 12 debut for new Texas head coach and former Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Herman.

Texas went 5-7 (3-6) last year and fired then head coach Charlie Strong. The Longhorns beat Iowa State 27-6.

Chris was hired as Cyclone Fanatic’s publisher in the fall of 2009. He is Iowa State football's postgame show host on the Cyclone Radio Network and can be heard daily from 4-7 on Des Moines' top-rated sports station, 1460 KXnO. Williams, a 2007 graduate of Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism, is the former publisher of the old CycloneNation.com (Scout.com). He has also written for the Des Moines Register, the Ames Tribune, CycloneReport.com and is the former sports director at KMA Radio. When Williams isn’t working, you can usually find him doing something outdoors with his wife Ashley, daughter Camryn, and Golden Retriever Dierks. He enjoys golfing, boating, country music, the Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Braves and is passionate about any and all motor sports so finding Williams at a local dirt track is very common.
