Our Picks
Sean Green (@SeanTGreen), Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric), and Colby Dant (@thecolbyd) all took Iowa State +14.5. The case was the same across the board: 14.5 is an insane number for a rivalry, and on the show they pointed out that only once in the last 15 years has this matchup been decided by more than 14 points. Power ratings might say the Iowa State roster is thin, but the guys compared laying double digits here to giving the points in an Army-Navy game. You take the dog, and that low total gives it even more room to land.
