Man that is a crazy number. ISU will be down by 17 halfway through the first quarter and lose by 45+...
I really hope I'm wrong.

You really have to assume that TCU will put up 60+ points on us. That means we'd have to put up 40+ on offense to even cover the spread. That's just not going to happen.
TCU doesn't have a good defense, not an uncommon problem in this conference.
TCU was horrendous that year from the git go. This TCU team is still a ton better. TCU is much better than 4-8 this year.
This line reminds me of the MBB game against Drake a few years back. Something doesn't smell right.
I don't gamble but with lines like this I could absolutely be convinced to start.
Just for comparison, Tech vs. Kansas is currently at TTU -31.
Also, I'm going to interject here: Sticking with the Big 12, why in the world did ESPN2 choose to air our game over WVU/Baylor... or even Oklahoma/KSt... ESPN knows something we don't.
All I got to say is
51.ppg average versus 28ppg average.
This is typical of the score.
50ish to 20 ish will be the score. Maybe since its in Ames it will be like 40-21
Take the bet.
What ISU needs to be able to do is rush the football and sustain a drive. and actually come away with points.
This is why teams in the Big Ten can beat these teams. Wisconsin will hold the ball for 40 mins of the game and keep TCU off the field. And then actually play defense.
BTW...how do you have the ball for 32 mins, have a RB that goes for 250 and have 500 yards of offense and lose by 30+ points. Thats crazy.
I mean Canzeri's getting a Medal of Honor in Iowa City today for going for 250 yds.
When was the last time the #2 team played a night game in Jack Trice??
Anyone remember?

I think with what happened in Manhattan last weekend you can probably flush that thought.Minus last year, ISU plays TCU tough. I don't know why, style of play or what. TCU plays down to competition maybe. Can't explain it, but I feel this is our best chance for a win over the ranked teams
left on the schedule. TCU doesn't step on people's throats. It will cost them sometime this year.
