Iowa state at Texas 8:00 ET
Cyclones (+) over Longhorns- There is something that really bothers me about today’s selection in this Big-12 contests and it goes back to against a very strong trend (although I must admit with so many people aware of it the numbers are not as big). The play has been for quite awhile that when a ranked team like Iowa State i an underdog to a team that is not ranked, the un-ranked clubs would win more times than not. Hence, with Texas favored and not ranked while No. 14 Iowa State is the dog. The Longhorns according to the system are the play. but, not so fast my friend (I heard that on TV) I have anther factor that overrides that trend. The Cyclones are coming off a last second road loss at Baylor while underdog Texas was winning outright over TCU. That was a huge emotion win over a Texas rival. The Horns hooked the Cyclones by 20 at home last season as favorites (-7,5) and now they are just (-1.5). Defense is preached by both coaches but the visitor plays it a little bit better. Take IOWA STATE!
