This is the best I’ve felt about a bet in years.... It’s taking everything I have not to bet a large sum on the bears. Is there a logical argument I’m missing as to why the line is -4? I’d consider taking Baylor at -14!
Poll: Iowa State +5.5 vs #1 Baylor

If a line seems too good to be true it usually is. That's what scares me from putting big money on it
That’s an easy answer. I mean we aren’t even competitive against mid tier teams...
Basketball is weird though, we could get hot and actually make a bunch of threes. Anything can happen in one game. That is why you can't make huge bets at once but I see no reason to not take Baylor. They are huge and simply a much better team.
Not always the case. I do think Vegas can be pretty slow to change their perception, which explains the low line for the KU game. They saw the numbers, which were pretty good against Kansas, and good against ranked teams in Hilton. However, I don't think they realized just how bad Iowa St was struggling then.
Doesn't necessarily explain the line for tonight's game though.
Still have to remember that you, I, and a majority of the posters here, are more knowledgeable about this year's Iowa St team, than most of Vegas.
i like the cyclones tonight.
a necessary (and often forgotten) key ingredient of hilton magic is getting killed by the same team on the road.
TH redeems himself, Lewis gets big minutes, Solo keeps up his aggressive play, and bolton shoots better at home. heck even the cover comes off the grill tonight!
So you're saying there's a chance.....

Maybe take Baylor on the moneyline then. They at least have to win for me to be happy if I bet against them.
My mind says "bet big on the Bears"! My heart says "we got a chance"!
Go Cyclones!
Go Cyclones!
I thought I was being clever when I took Baylor -4.5 earlier today on William Hill. Looks like it made it down even further to -4. Had to check my Action App, Baylor is getting 73% of the money right now. Wouldn't seem like that would be enough to pull the number down quite so much, but I don't really understand that side of it, admittedly.
I thought I would never see myself saying this in MBB, but we are not Oklahoma State.
