All that I have to say is that Kansas is 7-1 with rest. Might as well make that 2 weeks of rest with also ran Sam Houston State on the schedule in their last game before the bye week. 13 points is not enough, and Kansas will smoke Iowa State with similar results to last years' 45-7 ugly woodshed job. Kansas quietly climbs back into the upper rankings with the tear that they are about to go on starting with this game. Remember you heard it hear first!
 
Kansas -13, 14, 15, 16 or 20 makes no difference

I agree Watch. KU looks like the play here.
Kansas - 34                  Iowa St - 17
Jayhawks -13    
No BCS game this year for the Jayhawks but in the same breath they still are a quality football team.

As long as Reesing is throwing the ball for Kansas, they'll smoke the Cyclones (not related to injury report, just saying I trust that kid to make smart decisions).  ISU is still a year or two away from being competitive in Big XII play (if they ever get there) under Gene Chizik.

Play Kansas -13

Rock Chalk baby.  Reesing and co. could post 50 on the cyclones.

Cyclones are a different team at home.  They avg. about 44 pts. at home.  Obviously they won't put up 44 against Kansas but they are night and day when they play home/away.  Seems too easy to take Kansas at a measly -13.  This line should move above 2 TD's with an avg. of 87% of the public backing the Jayhawks.  I will probably be the only person taking Iowa St. at +14 or more since I will wait until Sat. morning to take it.

I don't care about the line drop! I am still pounding Kansas hard! Even Boise State's line dropped from a week high of 26 down to 24 and you see what happened?

AHA!  may have figured out some reasons for the line drop... best WR for KU is still most likely out for this game... suffered a neck injury in the first week...
 
KU offense has been strong without him for the most part, but he is their senior WR and easily the best on the team, so it is a fairly significant absence...
 
still gotta like KU though... especially like the fact this game is early...

I normally like taking ISU as DD home dogs but Kansas handled them easily last year so I think will stay away from this one.

You're right shephard! It just makes it easier to take the Jayhawks for me! I di se the injury you're talking about, but I am still all over them. The information being made public is precisely why the line is dropping.

The only time to ever bet on Iows St is when they are home dogs
 
I do think Kansas is way too much for them to handle here.

My inital lean is/was Kansas...Still may play them, but I think ISU is better than last year, and KU is not as good. Also look at LY ATS home conference games 3-1

Covered (by a large margin) vs. Oklahoma

Covered and won SU vs. Kansas St.

Covered and won SU vs. Colorado

While it was a big one, the lost ats to Texas

--Just food for thought

IM ON KU. BUT FROM 12.5 TO 11.5 WITH PUB ON KU MAKES ME WONDER. HAPPENED TO ME TONIGHT WITH MEMPHIS. LINE WAS AT 5 WITH THE PUB AND LINE WENT DOWN TO 3. I GOT IT AT 3.5 AND LOSS. HORRIBLE DAY. I HATE LOSING BY A HALF.

ISU has 2 QBs that cant take care of the ball.  The only way for them to keep this close is ball control.
 
I liked KU at <14.  I LOVE them at 11.5
