Baylor Bears at Iowa State Cyclones Overview

Baylor Bears

The Bears roar into this contest on the heels of a 35-31 upset of the Oklahoma State Cowboys last Saturday in Waco where the Bears closed as a six-point dog at home. The triumph snapped a two-game Baylor losing streak suffered at the hands of West Virginia and Texas.

Iowa State Cyclones

The Cyclones come in off a 27-3 beatdown of the Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kansas, last Saturday. The victory marks Iowa State’s fourth straight victory since losing to TCU on the road as an 11-point dog in late-September.

Reasons To Avoid Iowa State

The Cyclones go from being the hunter to the hunted as they are now a ranked team with much of the public flocking to them in this market. This is a team that goes from playing the role of a pesky underdog (a role that they play very well) to that of the outfit with something to lose who can be upset. So far, ISU has done an excellent job of handling the change, but they could have easily been stunned two weeks against Texas Tech had the Red Raiders not made some costly errors to hand them the game. The Cyclones followed up this up with a dominant performance against the Jayhawks, but Baylor is not Kansas, Dorothy.

Reasons To Back Baylor

If the Bears win this game they are bowl eligible and that in itself is enough motivation for Baylor as they won just a game last year. With two rivalry games looming, a Baylor upset puts the Bears in the post-season with the luxury of focusing strictly on their rivals without added pressure. Given the fact this team just shocked the Pokes who stunned Texas, Baylor will have plenty of juice for this contest and will be upset-minded yet again.
