What The Line Should Really Be On The Iowa State vs. Baylor Week 4 Game

Iowa State has gone from -6.5 to -7.5 but we have seen sharp books drop the line a half point at times.  Action was around 65% on Baylor so not a whole lot to see here.  BetOnline is offering a generous welcome bonus (max bonus $1000)

After two lackluster offensive performances in its first two games, No. 14 Iowa State flew into Las Vegas with a sense of urgency.  

Brock Purdy completed 21 of 24 pass attempts for 288 yards and three touchdowns.

Iowa State (2-1 Straight Up and 1-2 Against The Spread) finished with 486 yards of offense and 7.59 yards per play

“Coming off last week it was rough, just the way we played, our mindset and everything,” Purdy said. “My mindset, big game last week, it hurt. There was no joy, no excitement, no sense of urgency.

“Just to get on the road, get away, come out here and just play football with the guys was our main mission and goal. Still some stuff we’ve got to clean up, but it was a good confidence booster, for sure.”

Baylor is the underdog here despite going 3-0 on the season so far.

Gerry Bohanon threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns while running for another score, and Baylor had its way against Kansas on the ground, piling up 307 yards rushing in another dominant performance in a 45-7 victory on Saturday.

One can argue that the Bears are yet to face a team of Iowa State's calibur so far this season.
