I don't like the 13.5, reason being WVU as exhibit A. We could be dominating and going up by 2 TD would be dominating given how the teams play.
Given our health issues they put in the back ups to the back ups on defense and concede a meaningless TD or FG late that goes under the line.

WVU was Exhibit A…except that was on the road, against a crowd that was literally everything they could throw at us, including the kitchen sink in their “Coal Rush” blackout.
Total reverse scenario.
Reminds me of a time in a game. We are getting killed. I'm a bench warmer. No playing time all year.
Coach comes to me and says "Bosco, get up!"
I jump up, strap on helmet and yell "I'm ready coach, where do you need me!?"
He says, " I need you get up so I can I throw in the bench."
I’m with Bosco- we’re up 17 to 20 points late in the game and they manage a cheap touchdown during garbage time to pull it under.
Had planned on betting good guys to cover, but have reversed and taking UCF and points. I think they’ll manage at least 14 points and I don’t see us scoring over 30. Tough game to bet on.

Some of you guys need to go back and look at the CU/UCF game…which was not in Colorado.
The only way they’re getting a late touchdown is if all the fourth stringers are in, not just the linebackers.
I wasn’t focusing so much on what happened with CU/UCF….i was speaking more about our defense.
Both Arkansas St and WVU scored late touchdowns against our D when the game was out of reach. I think if the game is in hand, a late score is a strong possibility. Offenses tend to take more risks in those scenarios and sometimes that translates into a late score by an offense with nothing to lose.
Don’t care about the point spread, but I did hedge the UCF ML. If we win, I am happy to throw the money away. If we lose, at least I get a pretty good payday.
I welcome judgement.

Not so far if you take all the points off we gifted UCF, then add them to ISU’s total.
