Even more interesting, this was the only game the Cyclones opened as favorites. They didn’t open up as favorites against North Dakota State, but those lines aren’t Vegas official because they don’t create lines for FBS vs. FCS matchups.

Many offshore sportsbooks and one place in Vegas opened with the Cyclones as high as a 6.5-point favorite. Well, the public pounded on the points with Toledo, and that quickly dwindled to as low as 2.5 points on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Some Vegas casinos still have the line available at two and the hook, but if you shop around, you’ll mostly find the line at three. As of now, both the public and experts are high on that number.

The point total can be found anywhere from 61 to 62 points, which is a fair total unless Iowa State really takes advantage of the Toledo defense.
