Fishhead-Iowa Bowl Line, what do you think?

[Illini]

Isn't Iowa getting about 4 or 4.5 points too many? I expect we will all have large wagers on the game, and be celebrating in the parking lot afterwoods with some frosty beers. Either that or we'll already be hung over.

 

[Fishhead]

Sir, they are currently getting +7

Personally, I was going to side with LSU if I were to get them at -3.5 or less.................as is now.............NO PLAY!

Think the LSU quarterbacks are the types to give Iowa fits and LSU matches up well with IOWA in their secondary with the IOWA recievers.............and we know IOWA has zilch for a running game.

I made the game -5 on my personal numbers fyi.

Looking forward to the party!

ps- Look at my thread about the casino boat........needless to say, that activity is scratched on Thursday evening.

I know the line is 7, I just had figured it would be 3 or 2.5. I guess so much for you saying screw it and taking Iowa and just cheering them on. Who bets against their own team in a bowl game?:nono5: Can't believe you even thought about it.

 

[Schouest]

Iowa WILL NOT move the ball on that LSU D...


That UNDER is a gift..wrap it up, but it under the tree...late Christmas present..

 

[jjgold]

LSU should be the most -3

 

[Illini]

I would have set it at 3, JJ. Not that I'm really sharp or anything. But last year, everyone thought Florida would cover easy against them, and they got blown out.

 

[Illini]

Fish, I'm looking forward to the party as well. I don't get in until the 31st though. Sounds like you had a wild time last night.

 

[hawkeye171]

wouldn't really say it was a wild night. but the trip to the casino boat during the upcoming bash will likely be cancelled. that's according to fish and myself.
as far as the hawks and l.s.u. goes, tough game. but you have too love points in a bowl game. and iowa has overachieved all season.:drink:

Good point!

 

[viking611]

I don't think its fair to say they've overachieved. They had one of the strongest Defenses in the nation coming in and lived up to it. The offense i would say has underachieved. Last in rushing!! Never would have guessed that. Their offense still can move the ball and clock with Tate's short passing game and can hit deep for the big play. The defense has been terrific though and I look for them to keep the game close v. LSU. Love the 7 points and probably some action on ML. Look forward to the booze and Florida sunshine as well!

 

[jjgold]

Iowa is very strong, the line is wrong

 

[Luckbucket]

Your Asking The Wrong Guy

Fishead Knows Nothing About Any Iowa Football Team, Especially Iowa Or Iowa State.

 

[kyhawk]

I really thought the Hawkeyes would be overmatched last year vs Florida, basically playing at home in Tampa at Outback. Ferentz will have the team prepared and LSU coach may be thinking about moving to the pros. Would help if one of the running backs is back. Dogs are the way to go in the bowls. Welcome to Orlando. Hard to believe I've lived here 10 years now. Love it.

 

[viking611]

Kyhawk....Will be in Orlando in 3 weeks. Really looking forward to this trip. I had tix last year but could not make it. Flying in from Illinois. Hope to meet up before the game with Fish, yourself, and the others! Big win for hoops tonight. I really believe they'll go into big10 play with just the one loss to UNC. Expecting big things from the Hawks this year! Mark down Jan20 on your calendar. @Illinois.

 

[Illini]

LMAO- Yeah, I'll get right on that and mark down Jan. 20.....as an easy blowout Illini victory. :finger:

 

[viking611]

Deron Williams is the most overrated player in College Basketball!!!!

 

[Horseshoe]

Can't trust LSU as chalk this fall, but outside of their one hurt year in '02, they have been excellent in bowl play under Saban, while Ferentz will have his gutsy team focused as well, with only their effort vs.USC in '02 as a negative in bowls.

LSU has been winning short all year, but has one of the top 3 Defenses yet again, so Iowa needs to be on their game with the pass vs. a great run stop/pass rushing unit. And with LSU being fundamentally weak for lapses this fall with youth, expect a few wrinkles from Ferentz in trying to spread the ball around for what is working that day, with Tate throwing swing passes and intermediate routes to blunt the pass rush with some deep balls..should be a feel-out game for most of the 1st Half.

The Under is the play..specifically the 1st Half Under.

 

[Fishhead]

Good material and opinions spread around here.

I will give a more in-depth analysis of my opinion as game time approaches.

LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING ALL OF THOSE THAT WILL BE ATTENDING THIS GAME!

 

[FairWarning]

Viking - Illinois will SPANK Iowa on Jan 20. Fans still haven't forgot about Iowa turning them in to the NCAA.


Illini - love the Chief avatar.
