00:00The Kansas City we go inside Arrowhead Stadium where a two
00:06win Kansas team host Iowa State who suffered its first loss of
00:10the year last week at home against Texas Tech and Lee's a
00:14guy a compelling number that makes this game look like it
00:17will be another difficult test for the Cyclones. Just two and
00:20a half points in favor of Iowa State on the road slightly but
00:24because KU is playing some of its home games to finish out the
00:28year at Arrowhead. How do you break down this matchup? It is
00:31under a field goal who comes out with a win. I think the
00:34better quarterback is Rocco Beck and I still don't believe
00:37in the defense of Iowa State giving up 15 points per game.
00:40We've seen Kansas in terms of the back end give up 220 plus
00:44that could have a big day. They have everything in front of
00:46them just can't buy Lance Leipold in Kansas in this spot.
00:50It's one of these interesting situations where we've watched
00:53Kansas all season long know that they deserve more. They've
00:58lost these games so close and so constantly that I think today
01:03there's a lot of people who say okay. This is my shop that
01:06Kansas, but I think my issue is maybe some of the early week
01:09players are holding better numbers. Ben you are now
01:13betting this team to win this game. Yes, and that's what
01:15they've not been able to do this year. You're catching
01:18seven right sharp play right, but that's not what you're
01:21getting. I think the books are aware that Kansas is better
01:23than the two and six number looks on the on the number and
01:26I think that is why it is so difficult to get to the window
01:29in this game, but we talked about it within Ben's top ten
01:33Iowa State. You could make an argument. Is this the best big
01:38twelve team they've played record would obviously say no,
01:42but that's how weird their big twelve strength of schedule has
01:45been. It's a really difficult one. The Jayhawks have been the
01:48most compelling team to me in this conference just two and
01:51six and their first cover in any of their six L's now two
01:54weeks ago in the rivalry game, the Sunflower Showdown against
01:58Kansas State where again the Wildcats triumphant at home on
02:01a last second field goal. Kansas is the best red zone
02:05offense in the country. Twenty-six attempts twenty-six
02:08scores twenty-one touchdowns. They're converting more than
02:11fifty-one and a half percent of their third down attempts.
02:14That's fourth best in the country. They should be better.
02:17They are just not Iowa State covered in its first five FBS
02:21games now two non covers in a row as two touchdown favorites.
