Makes me ill to say it, but ISU by double digits.

As NKCHawk said, Vegas knows...that being said upsets happen all the time. That's what makes it fun! You just never know what'll happen.

All that being said it does seem Iowa struggles to cover as favorites but does well as underdogs. I'm pretty sure I saw something last year showing Iowa as one of the top teams in the country at beating the spread as underdogs or something like that. Y'all have the Googles....

I has da googles

See ya later

This. Iowa State may blow Iowa out. Iowa may blow the Clowns out. History would say it will be a fun game and close. Either way, I am not speaking to my Cyclone graduate brother this week. He is dead to me for 6 days every year!!!

No this Saturday, Bro

This is a great point. Our punter and punt returner are a decided advantage for Iowa. If ISU is starting drives insider their 20, they will play conservatively and any turnovers will be killers. Turnovers and field position can dictate play calling and confidence. A lot. Iowa State does not want to play a field position game with Iowa. They lose that game. They need to move the ball and score early and often.

Besides good punting and returns for the Hawks, ISU is always ready to muff one late in the game
