whats up guys
i'm a little surprised by the line of TCU -1.5 for this game. Really, I'm hesitant to play it because it looks like a trap.
Iowa St is more of a passing team, they have more completions on less attempts and a greater average per game than TCU. However, TCU has the much better running game, averaging 4.4 yards a rush to Iowa St.'s meager 2.8. TCU's only loss of the season came in their 2nd game of the year. Without that loss they could easily be in a BCS bowl. With the exception of a final game loss to Kansas, Iowa St. finished their season strong after losing three games in a row. Also, I believe a big factor in this game is that it's being played in Houston, a mere 4 hours from Fort Worth and TCU. In essence, it's a home game for a statistically better team...and the spread is -1.5?
Opinions are appreciated.
