Historical trends in a series weigh HEAVILY on betting lines. That's why Iowa has been an underdog ONE TIME in the last 10 years versus Iowa State, despite having lost 6 of 9.
Vermeil happened to be our coach during the past 5 years, in which we laid egg after egg at Denver. You can pretend that it's irrelevant all you want. It's not.
