Iowa State opens up as a 23 point favorite against my beloved Jayhawks. Is this number too high or too low?
Big spreads are always tricky because teams tend to do enough to win instead of pressing the issue when they have leads, especially late in games, but I think this is just about a Goldilocks spread.Iowa State opens up as a 23 point favorite against my beloved Jayhawks.

Is their fan going to be in Ames? That could be a factor.
I read it as "Kansas Weak"Is "Kansas Week" even a thing for football?
It would be really nice to see a steady diet of Mitchell handing off to Lang and Croney starting mid third quarter, but I don't think we will.I hope ISU can put this out-of-reach by, say, midway through the second quarter. Get a lead early, maintain it long enough to allow recharge for the starters, no injuries, give fans a stress-free viewing experience and get ready for possible nail-biter in Manhattan.
As for covering/matching 23-point spread, something like 33-10 works for me.

Maybe ISU can make up for that 60+ pass game and give ISU three running backs with 20+ carries each.ISU run game will bury Ku. They are awful on the defensive front seven. However, you're facing the greatest offensive guru (he wrote a book, you know) and running back to blossom in Lawrence since Gale Sayers, so beware.
