I'd guess around +7.5




I'll just go ahead and pat myself on the back....

That's why I was hoping either for an iowa loss or blowout win. If they win in a blowout, the line will be more like 10.5 to 14. If they lose it's about the same line as it is now. I hate this line...

Remember, the odds are not based on what the "experts" think the outcome will be. Rather, the odds are based how the "experts" think people will bet. Iowa fans bet with the hearts and not their heads. They have an inflated perception of their team, while ISU fans are more realistic. That's why Iowa traditionally doesn't do well against the spread.

Bottom line, I'd take this bet.

This game should be REALLY fun this year.


All I know is that Iowa beat us last year 17-5. Are we better than last year, maybe. We certainly dont seem worse.

Is Iowa better than last year? Not looking like it right now.

Should be a game played by pretty even teams. Whoever shows up and can make a couple game changing plays will win.

I really wish Iowa would've blown out UNI yesterday. They had to play hard the entire game to win that one, whereas in recent years the games they played before coming to Jack Trice were against complete patsy's, and the starters were basically making plans for the night by the third quarter. They never had to make any adjustments or focus much on what they were doing wrong. Then they'd stroll into Jack Trice, over confident, and get whipped. By staying close and then winning the way they did yesterday, I have a feeling they're going to come out strong and focused at Jack Trice this year.

Then again, maybe by almost losing to UNI, they're sitting there questioning themselves today, and they'll come to Ames and struggle.

Either way, on paper I still think Iowa is a much better team than ISU. But in this series that doesn't mean a thing.

Clones win.
