They are definitely struggling by FSU standards, but they have also played a tough schedule. ISU might be (1-2) or worse if they played Boise State (3-0) and @ Virginia (3-0), both of which are quality teams as good or better than Iowa (3-0) IMO. I think ULM is going to give the Cyclones all they want on Saturday. Hope I am wrong and the Cyclones can win without all of the drama of the past two weeks (OT, Hailstorms, etc.). Let's Go State!
Neither Boise State or Virginia is better than Iowa and the AP poll shows that currently. Florida State has good players but their program is in complete shambles right now. They can barely get people to show up to their games and they're probably going to finish in the bottom half of the ACC..and the ACC is not very good this year. And of course ULM is going to give Iowa State their best game but barring anything crazy, this will be a sure W for Iowa State, which is why Vegas put the line where it's at.
The AP Poll is just an opinion not a fact. Boise State and Virginia may or may not be better than Iowa, but the ranking this week does not absolutely prove that either way. Time will tell!
I'm in no way saying Iowa State has this game in the bag.. I mean c'mon we're Iowa State fans. Lol what I'm saying is that Coach Campbell has his program in way better terms than Willie Taggart does at FSU. If our offense figures their crap out, we'll cover. If we don't, I see us winning by 13-17. Who knows, that's why you play the game!The AP Poll is just an opinion not a fact. Boise State and Virginia may or may not be better than Iowa, but the ranking this week does not absolutely prove that either way. Time will tell!
fyi: I don't disagree with Vegas lines often, as they are very good at what they do. I hope you are right, and I am pleasantly surprised on Saturday! I'd still take ULM + points if I was a betting man.
As for the attendance, FSU is doing just fine. Even with the Boise State game being moved with just 2 days notice from Jacksonville (3 hours East of Tallahassee) due to Hurricane Dorian to Doak, they still drew 50, 000 fans (with a Hurricane heading toward the state). Their attendance is down a bit, but they fill most of their 79,000 seat stadium most of the time.
I do agree that FSU has good players, but the program is heading in the wrong direction. They were still in both the BSU and @ UVA games until the final play. If ULM can play with the Seminoles, they should be able to play with the Cyclones.
I hope I am wrong! I'd love a Cyclone blowout!
So now you're mad we're not blowing teams out? Lol. Man our fan base is hard to please. We also haven't lost a game by more than 14 points in the last 3 years, and that one time was @ Texas last year. Let's all just take a deep breath.
You’re mad about a guy determining whether a spread is worth making a bet on? Bringing up not losing by more than 14 is nice, but unless the line swings to ISU +15 is just being insecure and overly sensitive. Perhaps it is you should take a deep breath.
I think I might have looked as his statement of this "not sitting well for ISU" as the outcome and not the spread. I apologize for taking it that way. I actually agree that we may not cover the spread.
I know I know I was mistaking you saying "it doesn't sit well" as you thinking about the outcome of the game itself and not the spread. That is my bad.
