Iowa State is favored by nine over Kansas State

Just catching up on this thread. This almost had me laughing out loud.

First off, when it comes to how petty I am with KSU, it's a bottomless pit. Let me spin you a yarn.

My dream would be for KSU to come to Ames with just walkons. Every play, Mike Rose throws a suplex on somebody who leaves the field in tears. Breece Hall runs for 600 yards and 11 TD's. With 2 seconds left in the game, Campbell calls a fake kneel play and then throws an 80 yard bomb to score over 100 points. He then pulls his hand back from the opposing coach, not handshaking, and then quickly proceeds to give him a wedgie.

If you think I care at all about how shallow a win is against KSU you are gravely mistaken.
Need to make sure this new initiative is on the ballot!

Refresh my memory please?


In 2012, Jake Knott had a shoulder that needed surgery. The doctor told him that it couldn't get any worse. So, he played another game before getting surgery. Unfortunately for my point, it was a Baylor game. Oh well, it was a good post, except for the facts. :confused:

Haha good memory! And let's not let facts get in the way of a good story!!

Point being we need to play well to win. Every game is this way. But for some reason with KSU we would all like us to play our best, channel the spirit of Jake so to speak, with a great effort. Maybe even a blowout? They did it to us enough times. But I'll just take a win.

Too many times we have been on the short end w/ the Kansas farmers. Time for some payback?

I was at that one. The performance in that game by Jake is one of the most underrated in Cyclone football history, IMO.

THAT sounds a bit like... (wait for it) ...a rivalry.

And I agree with the OP with EVERY BONE IN MY BODY.
 
Do I want Iowa State to crush KSU? Yes. Do I hope they win by 14+? Yes.

Do I think it's really gonna happen that way? No.

Baylor game was highly predictable as high-scoring, close game, which it was. KSU obviously better than BU.

Some responses make it seem like I bet KSU to win (which is +310 btw, +625 if you parlay it with Under 46.5, which is the most likely KSU win scenario . . . )

This is a thread that started being about the betting line, no? :)

Not sure taking KSU ML would be the play. I think the smartest best would be KSU +11 and parlay the Under 46.5 for +265 odds.

Yeah, idk, 46.5 seems really really low to me. 24-20 ISU win?

If Iowa State wins the game (and I think they will), that generally means they score a lot of points. 30-14 blowout seems unlikely to me. We'll find out soon enough!

Haha or one could just hedge and take KSU +11 Under and KSU +11 Over and make 65 dollars on a 200 bet. :) Not really worth it but fun to think about
 
B12 radio on XM this morning has it 34-17 ISU. Archer, your former QB, called it. His sidekick, a Ku dude, agreed.
You could spend hours diving into every statistic, every drive chart, comparing everything between the teams, and your prediction could end up entirely wrong. That's why the games are played.
