Calling all betting degenerates! It is less than a month before Iowa State takes the field to play SDSU, and what better way to start off the football year than with the Second Annual Iowa State Football Fake Sporting Prop Bets.
MidAmerican Energy called us to sponsor, but Jamie Pollard quickly blocked that plan, just like he blocked virtually everyone on Twitter (except us, miraculously).
So, will David Montgomery go Hulk-A-Mania on everyone’s ass, or will a dumpster fire named Kansas lose all their conference games by 40 or more?
This is year two of the Fake Sporting Prop Bets. Make sure to check out last year’s Fake Sporting Prop Bets here.
First off, let me get to the rules of this completely made-up and ridiculous game. The only way to deposit funds into the WRNL fake overseas betting account is with the following:
1) Gene Chizik Commemorative Coins
2) Bill Snyder AARP cards
3) Urban Meyer hush money
Also, for any of you rookies out there, here is the tutorial on MINUS and PLUS. Instead of actually clicking on the link (like I know none of you will do) – here is how it works.
Every prop works off a standard $100 bet. If you see odds of MINUS $200, that means, you have to bet $200 to make $100. And vice-versa, PLUS $500, means the same as 5-to-1 odds, betting $100 to make $500. Got it – alright here we go.

Sidenote, on a scale from Spongebob the Square Pants noodle arm to Popeye’s spinach arm – how big will Kyle Kempt’s arm be?

It appears Campbell is taking the responsibility for the play calls, but you never know if a fat man sawing wood puts his name into the ring
Poll
Bet #3 - Will David Montgomery break more tackles than the ridiculous 109 he had last year?
Just an absurd number a year ago. You better hope we shore up the offensive line to give #32 some running room in ’18.
Poll
Bet #4 - Will Jaquan Bailey get 8 Sacks to put him over the career record in sacks at ISU?
Quite honestly, one of the most embarrassing stats at ISU. The Cyclones have had a few disruptive defensive ends come through in the short term, but this should be a lock for Bailey in his four-year career.

Sure, let’s see who this Matt Campbell guy is all about. +500
Boy would this be legendary, and you know the fans will show up, like shoppers trampling over each other to stores on Thanksgiving Day. The best bet is for a home matchup against Oklahoma (Week 3) or West Virginia (Week 7), but you all know ESPN will break our hearts and pass Ames up for a Big Ten or SEC matchup like they always do.
