That's great. I respect that and you have every right to your opinion. Why can't I have mine? If a game is 50-50, I always do the same. I don't view this one as 50-50. Again, I REALLY hope that I am wrong. This would be a huge win for this program.

Personally, I don't mind the predictions against Iowa State because of the jinx factor. Maybe I'm just silly.

I hope you're wrong too. But if we should lose, at least you'll have a correct prediction to hang your hat on.

I'm definitely with CW on this, as a journalist he has to be neutral. Yes he's the voice of Cyclone Fanatic, and that does give him the leeway to be a little biased. However, he isn't being biased and its why CF is seeing this growth.
Fact is while Vegas sees this as basically flipping a coin, it still will be seen as an upset if we pull off the win.
I hope that Chris is wrong, but their length and Dunn scares me.

Ya, I'm sure that's what he's going for

JVB will need to be smart with the fouls he gives, but I could easily see Godfrey and Railey using up their allotment of fouls sending Jones to the line which would be good strategy.

I am guessing CG and JR will use up their allotment of fouls without employing Hack-a-Shaq.

What's the deal with scheduling two straight Saturday games against two straight NFL biggest-game-yet-of-the-year games (Jets-Colts last week and Ravens-Steelers this week)? It could be completely out of ISU's control, if the conference does the scheduling without any input from its schools, but it still seems odd. Is anyone but ISU fans and the dozens of Baylor basketball fans watching this game?

Guess I at least picked the winner this time. CW just made a mistake.
