Iowa-Purde opening line -9 Hawks

Now, which Hawks is that? Is it the Wisky Hawks or the Ohio State Hawks? Figure that out and you can print money.

Iowa will be favored the next two games and should win them. That would give them 8 wins for the season which is better than anyone thought they would be. Only their only losses would be against top 25 teams.
 
Jackson could have another really good two weeks if they continue to throw his way because both QBs have plenty of INTs. Especially Lee.
 
Take the under what ever it will be. Early forecast calling for a very windy day Saturday. Have a feeling could be like Illinois game conditions last season there. Would favor Iowa.
 
which is better than anyone thought they would be.
Not I, for one, but that's another discussion.

I'd probably favor Iowa as well, predominantly because Purdue seems to have reverted to type after a promising start. Still, it's a conference road game, which doesn't give me a lot of confidence in our boys. I'd probably take the points in that bet.
 
Purdue threw the ball 60 times vs NW only scoring 13 points. Wow. Could be a low scoring game this weekend.
 
Purdue and the points seems like a smart bet
If you think its a smart bet then its time to cash in my IRA and use that money to bet the other way.

.... unless reports out of West Lafayette in the next few days indicate that the Boilers are having a good week of practice. If that's the case, I'll have to hedge big time. Keep us posted.
 
I am dead certain we will win the next two games. And equally certain we will lose them both.

Who the F knows what this team will do. I could see them losing to Wartburg and beating...well...tOSU.

I know this, if I were defending Iowa...especially as an underdog, I'd blitz early and often. We haven't punished a team for over aggression in....well I guess nebby in 2016, but it's extremely rare.

Shrug...sit back with some cold brews and watch what unfolds I guess.
 
What time is kickoff? Is it, If We Suck Plenty of Time To Rake Leaves or If We Suck Plenty of Time To Beat The Crowds For An Early Dinner?

You thought they would be better than 8-4?
 
Can't speak for the guy you quoted, but I thought this team would be capable of 9-3. I expected a salty D and an average offense. If we had the average offense, we'd probably be looking at a 10 win regular season.

I can't remember the last time we had an average offense.

I thought to get to 9-3 they would have to be better than average on offense. And they almost got there. But most experts and Vegas included had them at 6-7 wins.

So so with the wind at our punter's back he might crack the 35 yard mark? With roll of course.

Yeah, I did. I had a sneaky feeling about the team, that the WRs would be much better than expected, lifting the offense to be good enough that, paired with our typical strong D, would get us to 9-3. D has held up. And actually, the receivers have looked promising. And Stanley has looked outstanding at times. But somehow our offense still sucks.

Pretty sure its not a road game, since its senior day in Kinnick........
 
What the derp was I thinking?

Disregard me.
No worries Daum. The eternal optimist, I'll take the Hawks at home on senior day to cover. They should be chomping at the bit to get the offense on the field. If I was KF I'd take the ball if we win the coin toss. Here's hoping for a solid performance to send the seniors out on a high note. Defensive player of the week for the Outlaw.........
 
I'm disappointed in this thread. No mention of Scott Frost and his future coaching choice.
