The Cyclones are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Hawkeyes are 17-4-2 ATS in their last 23 home games and 17-6-3 ATS in their last 26 games overall. The over is 35-15-1 in Cyclones last 51 road games. The over is 6-0 in Hawkeyes last 6 overall. The underdog is 6-0-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Iowa State Cyclones have been sloppy through two games and they don’t shoot the ball the way we’re used to seeing past teams shoot it. The Iowa Hawkeyes have the best player in the country in Garza, have won all four games this season by double digits and they’ve been covering machines dating back to last year. I usually like to grab free points in rivalry games, but Iowa is clearly the better team here. Iowa State will run out of gas in the second half. I’ll lay the chalk.
