OUR PREDICTION: The Bears are just 1-4-1 against the spread in their last six games in Ames and the home team is 10-2-1 at the betting window in the last 13 meetings between these two teams. After beating Oklahoma State last week, this is a perfect spot to bet against a Baylor team that could be primed for a letdown against an inferior opponent.
