Schule's NCAAF BIG12 ULTIMATE of the ULTIMATE - +$37,985 All Time CFB
(NCAAF) Iowa State vs. Texas Tech, 10/10/2015 11:30 AM, Score: 31 - 66
Point Spread: 12.50 | -107.00 Iowa State (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Iowa State Cyclones.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders nearly shocked the country with an upset win over the TCU Horned Frogs two weeks ago, but a last minute touchdown allowed TCU to escape with the victory. They were blown out by Baylor last week, and now they return home to host conference rivals Iowa State.

I don't think Texas Tech has any business being a double-digit favorite here, even though they can score points in a hurry. Their defense is brutal, and they are likely going to struggle to stop the Cyclones from scoring.

The Red Raiders have won three straight meetings in this series, but the average margin of victory in those games was just seven points. That includes a home win by a score of 42-35 back in 2013.

The Cyclones have an experienced senior quarterback in Sam Richardson, and Kliff Kingsbury knows it will be a challenge to contain him: "Anytime you have a senior quarterback that's played a lot, that's going to give you problems," the third-year coach said. "He can run well, he throws well, so it'll be a good challenge for us."

Richardson has thrown for over 1000 yards with seven TDs and three picks while going 2-2 to start the season. Their two losses came against teams with a combined record of 9-0 (Toldedo and Iowa).

Take ISU.
