INDIANA +17.5 @ IOWA with small write-up

[olemiss33]

Wow...

Probably the biggest Iowa fan on this board, not a hater in any way, shape, or form.


They are #1 in the BCS computer polls for a reason, they are a rock solid football team with a terriffic punter, a terriffic all-around defense, and have shown the ability to perform offensively when pressed to do so.

Make no mistake about it, this Iowa club is a very, very talented football team in many areas.

Iowa is terrible, just like every other team in the Big 10. That conference is a football joke, just like they are every year. If you put this Iowa team in the SEC, they would go 4-4, at best, in conference play. I sincerely hope they win the Big 10 and go to Pasadena. USC will roll them by 20+ points.

It never ceases to amaze me that Big 10 fans think they actually play football in that conference.

Iowa's offense always gets better as the year goes on. I believe this is the week things start to click. Iowa 45-17. Always scared of the spread offenses, but this Indiana team is not the same as year's past. No Hardy anymore. Weather will be cloudy, no rain, low 40's.

[wacked]

I'll take +17.5, Indiana's team is actually decent. Should be a fun game to watch.

[Enogsiwon]

The monkeyfocker can pull out his calculator and tell you about his model's, value, blah blah blah bullsh*t...

The King watches the games while this guy make $2.50 an hour at some 10-20 limit game in Vegas..probably the guy that bitches and moans when he gets Rivered, but says Nothing when these same people pay him off..

This is the Kings play of the Year thus far in Football..Do what you wish..

Iowa has defeated Arizona, a team that is currently tied with USC in the PAC-10 standings and will in all liklihood go ahead of USC in the PAC-10 standings after Oregon defeats USC this weekend.

USC lost to Washingon......and scored 3 pts. in the process.

IOWA has also defeated South Carolina, LSU, and Florida in bowl games this decade.

I love indiana at 17.5. I also love the over in this game.

The pac-10 plays football? Sorry I didn't get the memo...Never see a real game from that conference...

[brock]

I think you may be off on this one. G/L I will just leave it alone.

Big 10

Indiana +17: Iowa has just come off of a big game, a close game. The loss of their work horse running back, look for them to really work the run game. QB play is good for Iowa too. However, Indiana has a lot of players that are out for injury, but are Prob. However, Indiana will try to play spoiler and work the clock. Iowa will win, but not by -17. The only team Iowa put more the -17 up on was Iowa St. Watch the line on this one. Good chance of change.

Purdue +6.5: Purdue is a great team, they have the potential to win this game out-right. Wisconsin is coming off a bye week that was much needed from the big games with Ohio St. and Iowa. Which they lost. However, Wisconsin is not in the hole like Purdue. Purdue needs to win 3 out of the next 4, at Wisconsin, at Michigan, Michigan State, and at Indiana, to go to a bowl. They have the team to do it too. I think Purdue will hand Wisconsin their third start loss, but if not they will cover this spread.

Michigan State -3.5: MSU is coming off a close loss and no doubt they are still wondering how they heck Iowa screwed up their story book night. However, they will show how good they are this week. Minnesota is down a great wide receiver, but I believe that he wouldn't make a difference anyway. If Cousins plays for MSU, easy pick. If not, MSU is still a good bet.

Penn State -14: Penn State is just that good. Their defense is one of the best and their offense can put up the yards. Northwestern just barely beat Indiana last week.

Michigan -7: Michigan needs this win to go to a bowl. Next on their schedule is Purdue, at Wisconsin, and Ohio State. Illinois is just not the team it was last year. They have yet to show up to a Big 10 game. They points they allow in a game compared to the points that they field is greater them 7. Also, they have yet to lose a game by a margin of 7 or less. The trend will continue.

With ya fishhead. I hit this one early and hard.

[Fishhead]

Absolutely no value in Indiana +17.5. In fact, this line likely trends higher.

+18 at TheGreek this morning.

Down to -17 at some shops..........SIA just went to -16.5

[MSUSpartan32]

I can't see the lovefest with the Hoosiers. 8th in the Big 10 in offense and 9th in defense. Mediocre team that lost at Virginia by 40. If Iowa is truly BCS worthy, they deal with injuried that hit every team, and win this game AT HOME by 3 TD's plus.

[soli]

Thanks for the info Fishhead.

If Iowa wins by 1 pt. on a last second 56 yd. fg they not only will remain BCS worthy, but will remain BCS TITLE GAME WORTHY as well.

[tblues2005]

I took Indiana today also Fishhead. I for sure took them in a teaser with some other underdogs that made their lines over 50 points.

[gummo]

We are on Iowa +17. I think they get a couple defensive touchdowns.

[purecarnagge]

I got +20 on this game. But I live in iowa...so our numbers are skewed. Most would chomp at the bit for that line.

[landers781]

On Indy here!

[tblues2005]

Indiana is ahead right now 7-0 but it is still early. I think I am on the right side here.

[whatsgood5]

Lookin pretty good right now

[wacked]

I'd take Iowa +17 also haha.
Maybe you mean -17 or Indiana +17.

[jjgold]

Fishhead is right so far

GL Cuz

[Chi_archie]

good game

[HoulihansTX]

Iowa suuuuuuuucks.

No real offense, and the D is just a little more talented than the opposition's O. Once they step a foot out of the Big Ten they will get curb stomped.

[jayc88]

14-0 indiana

[jjgold]

Iowa will be put of the top 20 after this game

Great call Fishler

[Hombre]

wow looking good so far ...

[MSUSpartan32]

You are truly living in a fantasy land if you think this football team is BCS title game worthy. A fantasy land. With that non-conference joke of a schedule, and squeezing by teams in a horrible football conference, there is no way.

Are you sure you'd take Iowa +17??? They're about to get ran out of the gym. Yeah #1 in the computers

[PureGuava]

lookin good so far

Exactly... The biggest fraud is that the teams Iowa has played so far all have back loaded schedules that make those teams look better then they really are. If you look closer you won't find one quality OOC win by any of them except Mich over ND. The Iowa win over AZ will be shown to be a fraud in the next few weeks.

[billsfan12]

Hawks on the board

Who are you on billsfan?
