1. Baylor (+225 ML) vs. Iowa State

This might be my favorite bet of the weekend because it could pay the most for those of you who are as confident as me that Baylor is going to beat Iowa State.

The Cyclones have been pretty average this season and yet everyone seems to think they are one of the best teams in the country and a top threat to Oklahoma in the Big 12. Iowa State is still ranked No. 14 in the country despite losing to Iowa in Week 2 by a healthy margin and struggling with Northern Iowa in the opener.

Iowa State did beat UNLV handily but that’s not exactly impressive.

Baylor hasn’t played anyone really but the Bears have dominated the weak teams on their schedule through three weeks and the offense has been potent while the defense is stingy.

This will be a low-scoring affair, I think, and I believe that the Bears are going to get their first signature win under Dave Aranda.
