Iowa State is favored by nine over Kansas State

[NWICY]

That would be like beating Ku were it to happen.

Fine with me.

 

[Statefan10]

K state plus the points and might even bet my entire paycheck on it

You think K-State wins?

 

[chuckd4735]

I don't believe ISU fans want to play a depleted K-State team, say without Wyatt Hubert, Briley Moore, A.J. Parker, and the like. That would be a truly shallow win and meaningless to the CFP quest.

Wrong. I would much rather get this game in, especially in a manner that rests us a little for next week, and get a bye-week before a potential Big 12 Championship game. I dont care how many asterisks KSU needs to put next to it.

Count me as not caring how many Kstate players are out

 

[erikbj]

draft kings was at -10.5 this morning. Still threw a couple hundred on the clones, lock and loaded!!!!

ISU has no chance at the CFP, so you are wrong.

In the litterbox on this one because even the coaches don't know until the testing is done.

Agree with any ongoing testing. But the coaches do know how many are sitting on positive tests (that they hope are cleared by the end of the week).
Gramps needs to come back in and whip these boys into shape.

Really incredible considering how terrible the state is doing.

I am not so bold as to say they'll win, but given our recent history against them, I can't put money on our guys to cover 9 points. This line should come down to 6.5 or 5.5

LOL. It will go the other way. In fact, just checked, it's 11.5 on one site.

Admiration.

Re-upping from another K-State thread.

I show CMC's record coming off 7+ day byes at 4-5. What is remarkable is how close all of those games were.

2016: Lost to K-State 31-26 and beat Kansas 31-24
2017: Lost to Texas 17-7 and beat OU 38-31
2018: Beat Tech 40-31
2019: Lost to Iowa 18-17 and OU 42-41
2020: Beat TCU 37-34, Lost to Okie St 24-21, and ?? vs K-State

Ready for a blowout then! Haha, for the good guys!
You heard it here first. I'm so good w predictions!

 

[t-noah]

Yes, if we win this game we'll lose vs Texas and if we lose vs KSU we'll lose vs Texas...

LOL. There's the spirit!

And before you says anything back, I know you were !

I think if Klieman is willing to make a public comment like that, the game is definitely in jeopardy.

I said last week the spread should be nine. This is no surprise. Look:

K-State lost its senior QB starts a frosh, ISU has a league leader
Both K-State tight ends likely out, ISU has two league leaders
K-State replaced its complete starting offensive line
K-State All-American kick returner, Youngblood, transfer out
ISU defensive line has two on Hendrick's watch list, K-State one
K-State is Covid-U; ISU clean
K-State limping in off two-game losing streak
ISU has Matt Campbell
Game is in Ames
ISU wears black

Would not be surprised to see the line move to double figures. This should be a snoozer for non-Farmageddon watchers.

Except for the Black, this is exactly why it will be a close game! If there is one.

It's KSU...

 

[t-noah]

Nope, I'm good with it. A win is a win in my book after far too many moral victories over the years.

Not counting chickens yet. Or something to that effect!

There's only Freerentz on this board.

 

[Cydkar]

Campbell's teams fade at the end. K-state has our number. Chance of bad weather next Saturday. No thank you. I won't bet this game or texas no matter what

Why wouldn't you bet the other side? You seem pretty convinced.
