Trash PEOPLE.
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.

I still want to see some solid production from our RBs in this one. If those guys can get a 100 yard game on the ground, Purdy does his thing, the D does their thing, and special teams doesn't go all special ed - I think we win this one.
So essentially.....play a perfect game lol.

Looks to me like we’re handing the team to Purdy and seeing how far he can take us. I don’t expect to have a feature back, but I would like to see more of Brock at RB. I know ULM had given up, but he looked more explosive than Hall. I’ve seen enough of Croney running into the OL.
Seriously, I don't get why Croney CONTINUOUSLY does that. It drives me NUTS

When do these games hit the William Hill app? I saw OSU is only favored by 14 over Nebraska, I want to go all in on that one.

.
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.

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.
