Iowa State +3.5 vs Baylor
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
It opened at Baylor -3.5 and has swung to ISU -2.
Agreed, I think I’d like to see us stomp a mudhole in them even more than Iowa. Iowa fans are dbags, but at least they aren’t like Baylor hiding behind their Baptist piety all while they cover up reprehensible actions.
The line opened today at Baylor -3.5 and has swung all the way to ISU -2.5. That's a whopping SIX point swing towards the Cyclones on the first day of betting. What that means is that there's a lot of money being put on Iowa State in this match up.
I'm not an expert on sports betting, but you don't see that kind of one-sided betting this early unless the so-called "sharps", the people who bet regularly and tend to win more than they lose, are pretty sure about a game. You don't put down that kind of money unless you're reasonably confident.
It's important to note that this isn't a game with a lot of national significance where you can expect a bunch of people to bet early without really knowing what they're doing. It's also highly unlikely that betting from Cyclone fans is the reason for the point swing. ISU doesn't exactly have an over confident fan base and most of us see this as a huge game that could go either way. This is clearly a case of the sharps seeing the line and believing that ISU was undervalued.

With two of them being wet and soggy grass.
Seriously, I don't get why Croney CONTINUOUSLY does that. It drives me NUTS
That is worrisome, as we were up by 14 at half...
Or gambling is legal in Iowa and fans in this state have put big money down. Frankly, I may have to go out to Altoona and get my log in to put money on Baylor. It will ensure that ISU wins handily.
I hope its made clear to the officiating crew the **** this Baylor team tried to pull last year, and its made clear to our players to keep their heads and not retaliate.
May not be raping women anymore, but they have continued the legacy of dirty play under Rhule.

Croney reminds me of the Late Stevie Hicks (RIP). For some reason they don't cut and just run into the back of the line.
Do we have extra security for our female cheerleaders? I mean it's Baylor and all.
This game seems like a toss up to me so it would be huge if ISU could pull this off on the road. Would make the possibility of a double digit win season more probable as well.
Baylor has not played anyone, this is their first real game
I think ISU wins this by 10.

Honestly, our defense is designed to really mess with OSU. The Pokes lack patients and try to hit on the home run ball instead of taking what the defense gives them. I can see a similar game as last year in Stillwater.
