why would Iowa st be favored over Baylor after you look at the teams they have both played (nothing impressive ) but seems Baylor had a slightly tougher schedule.Both teams wins came from botton tier schools while Baylors looses seem a bit more respectful.
the line opened Iowa st -3 and has come down to 2 and 1 in some spots.
imo Baylor is better statistaclly on both sides of the line and should be able to move the ball with no problem even with the loos of qb (Robert Griffen). I imagine the line reasoning is the typical home field advantage standard of -3 but I feel if this game is on neutral site Baylor would be favored by 7 or more.
Please help me understand if this is a position of value taking the bears or if the line is right
thank you and gl
