Absolutely.
On Feb1 we lost to CU by 26. On March 2 we won by 5. A 31 point change in margin in 4 weeks, or 7.75/week.
With one more week, this would predict that ISU wins by 12.
However, an alternate method of prediction would be relative to the altitude the game was played at.
Altitide based margin prediction:
5430 Boulder, CO
920 Ames, IA
Difference of 4510ft
31 point change of margin = 0.0068 points / foot.
KC Altitude: 1025ft
A difference of 105 ft higher than Ames, resulting in just less than a point difference (.7).
ISU wins by 4.
Between the two, ISU wins by 4-12
