Yeah I go to school, here.
Personally, I think KU is the toughest football team in the nation to cap. There is no rhyme or reason to the way they play, and their weekly QB carosel is about as annoying as you can get for a fan/bettor. There is just no telling who shows up for them, week in and week out. Throw in a young, leaky defense, and a terrible road history, signs would seem to point to playing an older (and probably more talented) ISU team at home.
Here is a copy/paste of what I posted in someone elses thread about this game earlier this week:

Fair enough.
For the record, I think this is an absolutely impossible game to cap.
No way to know which KU team shows up... we don't even know who the starter will be at QB (it could be one of three guys). Also, they are an awful, awful road team (check out their road record and Big 12 record's in Mangino's era).
That said, ISU has essentially given up on the season and could easily be winless. But they are a more talented team, with more experiance, playing at home.
Hope for the miracle that Meier is playing. Since I highly doubt that he will... pray that Reesing is in. Barmann starting on the road will immidiaitely be lost money... I promise you.
Obliviously I am pulling for you on that selection... but I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot poll. Either of these teams could win in blowouts and it wouldn't surprise me.
GL.

I think that about sums it up. Just because KU has HUGE incentive to win this game (if they win, they are probably going bowling... if they lose, there is absolutely no way) and ISU has none (like I said, they could be winless and they will be home for the Holidays) I would lean towards KU.
But like I said... I wouldnt be near this game. No line value either, which I thought was weird. Fully expected ISU to be -3 or so.
GL to you.
