Iowa and Minnesota are the 2 best teams in the big10, Gophers are better though

Sorry, I know a lot of you have $$$ on ASU. I am originally from Iowa though so I like to see them do well

I am not that sold on them yet. I think ASU is just piss poor and overrated.

Isn't it a bit early to make such predictions? Early part of the year anyone can surprise and be better than expected, but its hard to end up ahead of the Michigans, Ohio States, etc. because their depth of quality athletes and daunting home field edge makes it tough to overtake them. Maybe Iowa gets there, but there is a world of difference between playing ASU at home and Oregon on the road. I think Michigan had a disappointing letdown this week, but will be tough and how can you count out OSU until they lose a game?

I'll make a wild prediction, Iowa will not be a factor in the conference this year. No offense Valdosta. Fishhead got his degree from Iowa and he will tell you the same thing.

Impressive win today, no doubt. Still just one game in a long season.

Well, as I said above, I am not sold on them yet. I think they will be a factor in the Big 10 though. The conference isn't looking real good if you ask me. I predict they lose 2-3 games this year.

BTW-Check your email.

Serious question here:

Aren't you afraid of their wheels falling off? They seem to be notorious for fast starts when beating up on cupcakes & they then fall apart when facing the tougher teams in conference.

LOL!! Right, and I told you they had about a 29% chance of covering 9.5 too and cost alot of my friends money in the process.

Fish - let me warn you about the RX jinx. Once you start working here your cappping goes to hell. Leads go the other way, middles completely dsappear, handicapping is nonexistant. Don't ask me why, just hold on tight. That 21-2 last year will be a 2-21 if not careful.

Good luck buddy you will need it.

In that case I guess it pays to not work for the RX

Valdosta, what part of Iowa did you live? I am originally from Urbandale, right outside of Des Moines, but now reside in sunny CA>
