BAYLOR +175 ML over Iowa State

Foster Pavilion – Waco, TX

8:00 PM ET. Let's set this up firstly with the Cyclones covering every of the last ten games. They have won five of the last six meetings outright. With ISU sitting undefeated and ranked inside the top-three, who wouldn't lay what appears to be a soft number here against the Bears who have just lost to unranked TCU and were clipped by a .500 Memphis team already this season. But that's the point.

If we factor in ISU's dominance in this series, their undefeated record, ranking, and their ability to cash at a clip situationally against Baylor, all of that makes them overvalued and if we remove just some of that from the betting math, this game could be closer to a pick-em. Translation - Baylor is live here. And why wouldn't they be?

The Bears are 8-0 in Waco this season and with that benchmark comes a home court presence that the Clones haven't seen yet this season. ISU for all its bells and whistles has only played one true road game. Yes, we know, it was a victory over then #1 Purdue. We remember because we called for the ISU upset and wrote it up. But that game was over a month ago and the scenario was entirely different. This is a conference rivalry game where viscous and emotion are at a peak. This is not a free-roll road trip to West Lafayette where the invader can only exceed expectations. No, now the Clones come in with the target on their back and expected to deliver. We are not sold that they are ready to do that just yet and neither are the oddsmakers. Baylor outright.
