This.

Road game on short rest. Potential for huge let down game after our rivalry game. And its sandwiches between two of our biggest games Iowa, and Texas.

I hope were ready, but this has TRAP written all over it.

One thing to add...they want to entice/lure people into betting both sides equally.

Is Vandy good? UConn lost to them and failed to even score an offensive TD. Their QB doesn't seem very good according to stats. Or WRs. RB is pretty good. I will be pretty disappointed if we lose. 3-0 is there for the taking. Could be a trap though.

UConn is better than they have played. Their defense is VERY good, and if they can figure anything out on offense, we might be in trouble. I don't think they'll win the Big East again this year, but if we don't show up ready to play well, we could lose. MUST take them very seriously....

I'm actually happy a few things went wrong yesterday so that coaches have plenty to get after them about this week.

I think Vegas is banking on a classic "let down" game and/or Jantz ******** the bed in his first road game.

I'd take ISU to cover in this one.

UConn's offense is just awful, but their defense keeps them in pretty much every game they play.

After watching the first two games I don't think Jantz is capable of ******* his pants but I'm really worried about the team being very flat for the first road game after an emotional, long game in a short week.

This. Hopefully CPR's mantra about never falling in to the valley kicks in this year and the team can get it done. We don't want 2002 again.

There is a bye week after the UCONN game, CPR can go emotionally all in on Friday night and not worry about it. I'd bet a lot ISU wins outright, by double digits.

I'll put a bunch in again on UConn when we get a CyBookie. My little simulation has a larger line favoring UConn in this game than it did Iowa. Their offense is statistically the weakest of our three non-confs, but their defense is by far the strongest. I wouldn't be surprised to see a loss... but I've said this a LOT during the Rhoads era, and each and every time I've been (gratefully!) proven wrong. Go Clones!

Consolation credits. I lost 30 million credits betting on iowa, figuring if we won i wouldnt care too much about losing those credits, and if we lost i'd at least get some credits probably.

Though I wouldnt be opposed to a credit stimulus again, just so i can lose some more credits betting against us.

I agree. If ISU gets caught looking ahead to a game 2 weeks ahead, then they shouldn't be playing college football.
