Free Betting Pick: Iowa State Cyclones -10
The Iowa State Cyclones are coming off an impressive dismantling of the TCU Horned Frogs as they played well on both sides of the ball. The Cyclones look revitalized on the offensive side of the ball with Brock Purdy under center as he has the ability to affect a game on the ground and through the air. The Mountaineers have been much better on the offensive side of the ball with Austin Kendall under center, but their defensive struggles still remain which won’t fly against the Cyclones. I expect this game to be a shootout through in the 1st half but the Iowa State Cyclones have been respectable on the defensive side of the ball and should figure hold the Mountaineers in check. Final Score Prediction, Iowa State Cyclones win and cover ATS 45-31.
