10/27/2007 - Columbia, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chase Daniel threw for 250 yards and Jeremy Maclin ran for and caught a touchdown as 13th-ranked Missouri downed Iowa State, 42-28, in Big 12 action.
Daniel was an efficient 28-of-37 with one touchdown and one interception, while Tony Temple led a well-distributed rushing attack with 40 yards and a score.
Maclin finished with seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown and Martin Rucker hauled in seven passes for 66 yards for the Tigers (7-1, 3-1 Big 12), who have won two straight since falling to Oklahoma.
Bret Meyer finished 33-of-48 for 237 yards and a touchdown pass and run for Iowa State (1-8, 0-5), which dropped its sixth straight. Alexander Robinson ran for 149 yards and a touchdown in defeat.
Missouri took its opening drive of the game 60 yards in eight plays to take the early edge. Daniel was a perfect 4-for-4 on the march, including an 18- yard strike to Rucker on the game's second offensive play. Jimmy Jackson capped the march with a one-yard touchdown plunge.
After an Iowa State punt, the Tigers offense again made its way down the field. Daniel started the march with five straight completions, the fifth a 13-yard strike to Jason Ray. After another Daniel completion -- a 10-yard pass to Maclin -- Temple rumbled into the end zone from seven yards out for the 14-0 lead.
Daniel's first incompletion came in the waning seconds of the first quarter, and his second pass that didn't find a Tiger ended up in the hands of a Cyclone. Devin McDowell picked off Daniel and scampered 25 yards into the end zone for a 14-7 game.
A good return on the ensuing kickoff led to three points and a 17-7 game. Daniel found Tommy Saunders for 13 yards on the initial play of the drive, and Jeff Wolfert converted from 36 yards away to push the edge to double digits.
The Cyclones plowed away on the ground on their next drive, taking the ball 68 yards on 12 plays for a touchdown. Meyer only threw two passes on the drive -- a third was negated due to defensive pass interference -- and he ended the march with his one-yard TD run that narrowed the deficit to 17-14.
Another good kickoff return with under one minute remaining in the first half set Daniel up with a chance for some more points. A pass interference plenty and Daniel's 11-yard completion to Maclin put Wolfert in field goal range and the kicker booted through a 48-yard attempt for a 20-14 halftime score.
Iowa State started the second half in the shadow of its own end zone and paid the price. Meyer was sacked near the end zone, fumbled the football, and Lorenzo Williams fell on it for the touchdown. Daniel then found William Franklin for the two-point conversion.
The Cyclones, again backed up to their end zone, reversed the previous possession with a 12-play, 89-yard TD march. Robinson busted through for a 32-yard run to midfield, and Meyer completed a 16-yard pass to Marqui Hamilton. Meyer also completed a 17-yard strike to Derrick Catlett, then found Hamilton for the one-yard score.
The Tigers offense then took control.
An eight-play, 54-yard march ended with a 10-yard TD toss to Rucker, and Maclin scampered 17 yards for another score.
Iowa State got its final points on a 37-yard scoring run by Robinson.
Game Notes
Missouri leads the overall series 57-34-9 and avenged last season's 21-16 setback to the Cyclones...R.J. Sumrall finished with eight catches for 44 yards in the loss effort...Iowa State actually outgained Missouri, 389-366.

BILLS (+10) at Steelers SPORTSBOOK LINES
It's impossible to gauge how a team will react after something like the Steve Everett situation, and it probably doesn't matter. That being said, the Bills are going to lose several games this year where they keep things close but fall short in the end to superior teams. Ben Roethlisberger and company could have a field day against Buffalo's decimated defense, but I like the Bills to cover.
BENGALS (-7) at Browns SPORTSBOOK LINES
All you can ask out of your NFL team is that it has a plan. You may not always agree with it as a fan, but as long as it appears the organization is going in some sort of direction, you have to go with it. Which brings us to the Cleveland Browns. You flip a coin to determine whether Chuck Frye or Derek Anderson should start the preseason opener. You start Frye in Week 1, but pull him in the first half. And then you deal him to the Seahawks for a sixth-round pick? Hmm... the Bengals could get six turnovers again this week.
COLTS (-7) at Titans SPORTSBOOK LINES
Tennessee signed ex-Colts cornerback Nick Harper in the offseason so that should help slow down Peyton Manning. Just ask Jason David and the Saints. Oh wait... One of these weeks, I'm going to learn to not pick against Tennessee, which has won seven of its last eight games. But it's not happening against Indy.
TEXANS (+6.5) at Panthers SPORTSBOOK LINES
Houston's Mario Williams, the first pick in the '06 draft, has more touchdowns than Reggie Bush after one week. Somehow I don't see that lasting. Meanwhile, Carolina bottled up what was expected to be a pretty high-octane offense in St. Louis in Week 1. Could this be the Panthers' defense everyone expected last year? Maybe. This feels like a 20-16 Carolina win.
RAMS (-3) vs. 49ers SPORTSBOOKS LINES
Absolutely love this game. Everyone's favorite pick for this year's surprise team -- the 49ers -- laid an egg on Monday night (not that anyone was watching with the game ending in the middle of the night for those of us on the East Coast). St. Louis wasn't much better, delivering a lackluster effort against the Panthers that included two Steven Jackson fumbles and panic from his fantasy owners. Jackson rebounds this week, and the Rams get their first win.
PACKERS (+1.5) at Giants SPORTSBOOKS LINES
Do you really trust this guy to win an NFL game if Eli Manning can't go? I say no. I'd feel alot better about this Packers team if it had any semblance of a running game, but I still think Green Bay's defense is good enough to give it a 2-0 start.
JAGUARS (-10) vs. Falcons SPORTSBOOKS LINES
Does it scare me to pick Jacksonville to cover a double-digit spread after it scored just 10 points last week against the Titans? Absolutely. But can I bring myself to pick Atlanta under any circumstances? No. Check out this poll on ajc.com. It asks what Atlanta's most urgent deficiency is: offense, defense, specials teams or all of the above. "All of the above" has 57 percent of the votes. Ouch.
SAINTS (-3) at Buccaneers SPORTSBOOKS LINES
I'm picking way too many road teams this week. Oh well. New Orleans has had some time to reflect on its lackluster showing in the opener, and the Buccanneers just aren't a very good football team. Anyone else surprised Tampa Bay hasn't made a move to sign Byron Leftwich? I thought that's what they do.
VIKINGS (+3) at Lions SPORTS BETTING LINES
Run the ball and stop the run. Minnesota can do both, and that will keep them in a lot of games this season. Even though it was only one week, Adrian Peterson looks like he was a steal at No. 7 in last year's draft. Not only will he produce, but Peterson delivers excitement to what otherwise would be one of the league's most boring teams.
DOLPHINS (+3.5) vs. Cowboys SPORTS BETTING LINES
Lost in the Tony Romo lovefest is just how bad the Cowboys' defense was last week. I know they're banged up, but Dallas' 'D' allowed 438 yards to the Giants' offense, and backup running back Derrick Ward averaged 6.8 yards per carry. Meanwhile, Cam Cameron's decision to split carries between Ronnie Brown and Jesse Chatman sounds about as can't-miss as Larry David's plan to show up to Marty Funkhouser's party a night late. Still, gotta go with Miami to cover at home.
SEAHAWKS (-2.5) at Cardinals SPORTS BETTING LINES
I'm probably missing something, but this game seems too easy. Arizona blew Monday night's game against the 49ers in typical Cardinals fashion, and the Seahawks beat Tampa Bay by two touchdowns. Love Seattle in this one.
BRONCOS (-9.5) vs. Raiders SPORTS BETTING LINES
Special teams was a major story line in Week 1. Take a look at the Broncos. They had to rush on to the field to get a Jason Elam field goal as time expired against the Bills. Denver drove into Buffalo territory on eight of 10 drives but came away with just a pair of field goals and a touchdown. Look for more scoring from the Broncos this week against an Oakland defense that gave up 36 points to Detroit in Week 1.
BEARS (-12) vs. Chiefs SPORTS BETTING LINES
Everyone talks about Rex Grossman when dissecting the Bears' offense, but Chicago's quarterback got no help in last week's loss to the Chargers. Meanwhile, Kansas City confirmed what we all thought while watching Hard Knocks: The Chiefs are going to stink this year. It could be a rough first month for Larry Johnson fantasy owners. Kansas City's RB was limited to 43 yards on 10 carries in Week 1, and the Chiefs face the Bears, Vikings and Chargers the next three weeks, all formidable run defenses.
RAVENS (-10) vs. Jets SPORTS BETTING LINES
A big dose of Willis McGahee and a usual sound defensive effort will give the Ravens their first win. According to Football Outsiders, no team in the NFL rushed only three defenders on pass plays last year more than the Jets. And according to my special Jets correspondent Ben Stauber, New York did the same in Week 1. Whoever starts at quarterback for the Ravens should have all day to throw.
PATRIOTS (-3) vs. Chargers
Friends and I were discussing how Bill Belichick goes about paying his $500,000 fine for cheating. Does he just write one check to the NFL? Do you need some sort of clearance to make such a monstrous financial transaction? I guess I shouldn't complain about the security deposit I have to put down on my new apartment. Anyway, two of the league's best teams square off in what should be a good one Sunday night. The Patriots always respond well just when you think they're in trouble. And their offensive attack was the story in Week 1.
Note: Monday night game will be picked Monday. Lines used are from football betting.
