Iowa State at Iowa 3:30 ET
Cyclones (+) over Hawkeyes- I have to keep reminding myself of what my former partner used to say and that is “Statistics never lie but, they can be very misleading.‘‘ That’s because if you check the results of both these teams opening games you would believe that Iowa who defeated Southern Illinois 40-0 what a huge edge over Iowa State who struggled to beat North Dakota 21-3 in a very deceiving score. The Cyclones managed just 86 yards on the ground and were on the short side of time of possession 38-22. The Hawkeyes have won eight of the past 10 meetings but covered only four times. The last time these to played in Ames (2022) State held the Hawks to 180 total yards in a 10-7 victory. With the opening line being where this game started tells me, we will probably see more of the same. Take IOWA STATE!
