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.
