The Iowa State Cyclones have dominated this matchup from a point spread standpoint in recent history, but Iowa normally blows its non-conference opponent off the field the week before and then comes into this matchup over confident and underestimating the Cyclones. That won’t be the case this season as the Hawkeyes were lucky to survive FCS Northern Iowa in Week 1. Getting a scare right out of the gate has got the attention of this much more talented Hawkeye squad and I look for the wake up call to serve them well Saturday. Iowa State’s Week 1 win wasn’t as impressive as first glance might lead you to believe as the Cyclones gave up 210 rushing yards to N. Dakota St. for a 5.5 yards per carry average. Iowa should dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the football and I look for the Hawks to play as hard the entire game as they did on the final two plays last week when they blocked back-to-back field goal attempts. The Road team is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings and it is also worth noting that the Hawkeyes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games, 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0. Lay the points.
