Predictions on ISU/IOwa betting line

[blubberhawk]

Under 15 ?
Over 15 ?

Thoughts?

 

[DJL]

Over 15. I'll go 17.5

 

[Hawk5656]

I bet ISU is favored by 8

 

[DP5555]

Over 15. I'll go 17.5

It's a rivalry game in Iowa City. It won't be that high. It'll be around 10 I think.

 

[Hawk5656]

KenPom has it 82-76 ISU with a 31% chance for us to win. The line isn't going to be that high

 

[damnfinn]

this will e very much like the Notre Dame game except ISU plays better D. Long night for these Hawks

 

[InGoodCo]

I'll guess ISU by 4

 

[InGoodCo]

Tonight's Creighton @ Nebraska game is 4 pts. Nebraska is not very good - Creighton is top 10 and look like world beaters. Iowa is not very good - ISU is flirting with being bounced from the top 25 - the spread isn't gonna be very big.

I think you are right, but I would take the over. I don't like our chances.

I agree on the over depending on what it is. Probably will be a big number. Like 166 or something.

I will be very very surprised if we keep it under 15. That being said I like surprises


Over 15 ?

With the game at Carver, in a rivalry game, with the offense we have shown to date (which has the potential to be explosive), no way that Vegas has the spread at double digits....especially since they want to get action on both sides....I'm going to guess it'll be somewhere between 8 and 9.5...

I'll bet this is the last time Iowa State is a favorite for the foreseeable future. They 'graduate' their entire starting 5 and their 6th man.
I'd agree with Kenpom's 31% chance for Iowa to pull off the upset. ISU is ok, middle of the pack BIG team this year. They won't be able to stop Pemsl (really wish we had Cook for this), but we haven't shown we can stop anyone...

As much as I hate to say it, it will be tough to keep it within 20. Of course there's always the chance our defense plays better or the clowns do stupid stuff. They have good players but their IQ runs in the single digits.

 

[Stanzi]

I wish I lived in Vegas. If the line is under 15 I would bet the farm.

 

[Hawk5656]

Official line is ISU -7

 

[blubberhawk]

Official line is ISU -7

Looks like one of those "too good to be true" betting lines..Load up on the Hawks!!

 

[STILLBUSTER]

I wish I lived in Vegas. If the line is under 15 I would bet the farm.

The line will be ISU - 8-1/2 to 9.

Hope Cy loses the game and his farm!

What makes you think they won't be able to stop Pemsl? He has scored against bad defenses and ISU actually plays defense this year.

Iowa's defense is much to, shall we say, inconsistent. I hate it, but ISU by 20 and pulling away in the final five minutes.
