ISU opens as 14 pt favorite vs TTU

[hoosman]

ISU by 4 points. Book it Dano,

 

[CyTwins]

It's Brocktober. Easy cover if it's 13 or under

 

[CycloneErik]

It's doable.
We're gonna beat 'em. Might as well blow them out.

What little I watched I noticed bowman there qb wasn't playing? He hurt again or was tech trying wierd things?

Got injured

I could see the clones getting them 35-20.

Bye week next week, focus should be there. I can see why it's -14

Bowman is kind of like Brewer in Baylor. Talented quarterback, but just can’t stay on the field.

This has “letdown” written all over it

I prefer to think this has "blowout" written all over it. Let's get some national attention for the Cyclones.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

I dont think TTU is that bad. Also how is Kstate not ranked.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

The worst is Kstate is a 10 point underdog at TCU. Nobody is respecting their win against OU.

 

[surly]

TxT's defense is just not good. Why? It's not for lack of athletes, it's discipline. They're a little like OU in that way allowing chunk plays because they're not assignment sound on the backside.

Their backup QB is a Utah State transfer. He can chuck it. To my eye and from TxT fan feedback, he's better than Bowman.

This game in Ames is ISU's to lose unless it turns into a free-for-all. And I can't see that happening with how well Cy defends the spread.

 

[RedBlooded]

Does Tech have a decent message board? (not 247, rivals)

I believe Skylar Thompson got hurt against Tech.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Back in the favorite seat again. It was nice while it lasted.

 

[Aclone]

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

Well, that’s 50 for us...

Bowman got hurt. Do you think they’ll get 12?

Heard hurt ankle. No idea how much that will or won’t affect him.

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.

Gosh I hope we pull this off. This has a trap game feel

 

[NWICY]

All I want is a win.

SP+ says we should win by 12 or 13. We're 10 spots better than them offensively (42nd vs 52nd), 66 spots better defensively (30th vs 96th) and 62 spots better on special teams (9th vs 71st). SP+ is 62% against the spread so far this year. Still a lot of preseason ratings reflected in these rankings though. Takes 4 games for preseason projections to be <50% of the calculation, and continues to go down each game until it is totally gone heading into the 8th game.
