Vegas released the Texas Tech @ Iowa State line earlier today. The experts like Tech by 4.5 points. Thoughts? Seems a bit on the low side to me. I thought it would be around 8.

If we are within a touchdown of Tech at the final horn, I'll be jumping for joy. Well, no I won't, I'll be complaining about should have would haves and join in on the meltdown. But seriously, right now, with a cool head, if we play them that close, I'll be pretty happy.

Seems a little low possibly. I wouldn't be surprised to see the line move to around 7-8 by the end of the week.

WOW. I expected it to be somewhere around 12-14. If our D-line doesn't get pressure,which they really haven't all year, LJ, Benton, and Reeves are gonna get torched.

WOW. If I only had 10 million bucks in the bank, I'd easily put a million on TT.

That is some EASY money right there.

To entice action on both sides it might go up 2 points to 6.5, but it won't move higher than that. Nevertheless, the line will move upwards by Friday.

What a crazy season. We might be a lot better than we think... or maybe a lot worse. NIU seems to have done very well since we beat them. KSU beat UCLA who just hammered Texas. We could have won the KSU game... we would be sitting very well if that would have happened. I think its surprising that I was worried about the Defense before the season! Now I'm worried about both!

This is a great chance for me to help out this team. By me putting it all on TT, Iowa State will assuredly win this game. So, if we win this game you can all thank me.

UCLA routs Texas in their stadium, Oklahoma barely getting by, Nebraska less than impressive win over SDSU. With any offensive production at all and continued success winning the turnover battle, we can and will win a game or two no one thinks we should, lets start with Tech! As far as the sure thing goes, I bet 30 million credits on Iowa to beat Arizona...best 30 Million I have spent in a while, but I wouldn't call it a sure thing for Tech to cover here either

I thought it would be more around a TD.

I don't get why everyone thinks Tech is going to blow ISU out. I have only watched them against Texas so far this year, but I was far from impressed...

Agreed. People need to stop thinking this is the Texas Tech from 2008. They are far from it.

I've never seen a fanbase so negative after a shutout in my life. CPR made me a believer last year. I feel sorry for people who can't find anything positive out of a 27-0 WIN!

Bring on the "mighty" Raiders. One more win on the way to another bowl.

- We don't know who our qb is for next week. and if it matters.
- We can't score.
- Texas tech has beat SMU and Scored over 50 against New Mexico. (which really sucks I know)
-TT has 2 weeks to prepare for us
-Am I missing anything?

I would say this line is completely out of wack. Take TT and run.
