ISU opens as 14 pt favorite vs TTU

Initial reaction from me: Seems like a few too many as we have a tendency to have a poor performance after a big win and being ranked- hope I’m wrong. We’ll see what other books think as they roll out later today.

I feel like TT’s offense is good enough that a 14 point line is something I wouldn’t want to touch.

 

[Busch__Latte]

No way would I take ISU -14 in this game. I really like the over/under, I think the game will be near 70 points.

 

[JP4CY]

Id absolutely take the over. Weather this upcoming week looks great.

 

[CysRage]

Yep, I agree. Stay away from the spread, take the over.

 

[Dopey]

Holy hell. Only team I'd trust that we beat by 14 is Kansas.

 

[NorthCyd]

Isn't Campbell terrible ATS as an at home favorite?

 

[Al_4_State]

This has “letdown” written all over it

After last year's KU game i wouldnt even take that.

 

[trevn]

14?? Yeah that seems like a big number.

The intangibles are not good, that's for sure. Tech's 0-2 conference record is deceptive and they'll be desperate to get off the snide, so we will probably get their best shot yet. However, I really like how Campbell always says the biggest challenge is never the opponent, it's what's in the mirror. That really helps keep us from getting too high.

I think we take care of business, but we may not cover the spread.

ISU Margin of victory of in the Matt Campbell era:
2016: 56 (H)
2017: 18 (A)
2018: 9 (H)
2019: 10 (A)

Also knowing, last week, K-State won by 10 in Manhattan, I'd stay away from the spread.

I feel like TT’s offense is good enough that a 14 point line is something I wouldn’t want to touch.

I feel like TTU’s pass defense is bad enough I’d jump all over that 14 points.

Seriously. Worst in the conference.

Bunch of vaginas here. Clones by 500

Just curious. Do you really think so, when pretty much the first thing out of everyone’s mouths last night was how much they needed to improve?

Yes. This program struggles with being a big favorite. Immensely.

Tech and KSTATE played a physical game with cheap shots all over the place. TT's QB was knocked out, but their backup looked really good in the second half. If it weren't for the refs they would have won.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Parlay TTU +14 and over. You’re welcome.

 

[Aclone]

Yes. This program struggles with being a big favorite. Immensely.

I’d argue that the current program struggles with underwhelming opponents. Opponents who are underwhelming? Not with being big favorites.

Tech is just...fun to play.

Surprised the open was greater than 10 points.
61.5 might be a tad low.
