Texas a 9-point favorite on Saturday

[Gonzo]

ISU +9 at JTS is a steal.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know the spread from last year?
I'm gonna take a shot in the dark, and say we covered!

I think it was in the neighborhood of -26 Texas. Take into consideration we were on a 2 game losing streak and UT just beat top ten ranked Nebbie on the road.

That doesn't stop ISU from winning!

Looks like 21.5

I like our chance either way. Texas's wins havent been very impressive.

Texas hasn't look impressive but our wins haven't been anything to write home about either. I'm comfy with this line, the media is just starting to warm up to UT and they have OU following us. I think the pressure is squarely on them, let's hope all the young guys they have playing stumble.

I'm not mad about the line at all. Somebody called into sound off saying the line is too high. If our turnover ratio wasn't so bad and if we didn't have so may penalties, then I would be mad. Fact of the matter is we need to fix the penalties and turnovers. Plus I like being the underdog in games like this. Texas has the target on their back, not us.

That's the thing that worries me with everyone's confidence, and constantly pointing to the weakness in Texas' wins.. Iowa was a decent win, but UCONN in all honesty looked bad..

I guess we'll just have to see on Saturday.

After what happened last year I wouldn't think they would be.

Dude...it's Texas. Overconfidence and arrogance are the norm.

Texas 31 -- Iowa State 17. The defense plays well, but the offense continues to make too many mistakes and puts the defense in poor position all day.

anyone getting mad at a line doesn't understand what a line really is!!

This is all about hope for Coy McCoy to be a gunner. What is the weather forecast for the Texans?

[Cydkar]

Hopefully this line drops during the week. If that happens I really like our chances.

What does the line have to do with our chances?

Looks like highs in the mid-60's and lows in the mid-40's.

[HFCS]

That spread is very high. Everybody is buying into this "Texas is back" crap. They beat two awful teams in Rice and UCLA and slipped by a very average BYU team.

Isn't this their first road game and their new QB God's first road game?

That alone would be enough for me to not give ISU 10 points in terms of betting.
