Missouri at Iowa State

The biggest home game in some time for the Cyclone program here. A win and McCarney's boys will meet OU for the Big 12 title game in Kansas City. These are two teams on drastically different paths of late. Missouri were the Media darlings of the Big 12 North heading into the season. They have been horrible, simply put, and many players including ballyhooed QB Brad Smith have jumped off Pinkel's sinking ship. TB Damian Nash told reporters this week that he could not wait for the season to be over. Hmmm. The Cyclones, on the other hand, started the Big 12 season 0-3 but have rebounded and seem to be a team on a mission. They have covered their last three games and four of their last five as well. ISU is 7-0 ATS in home games after allowing 4.5 or less passing yards per attempt last game since 1992. We go with the Cyclones in this huge home contest, against a Tiger team that has packed it in for the season, for five stars (5% of bankroll).
