Our Iowa State Cyclones vs BYU Cougars Prediction
BYU is one of the few undefeated teams left in the country, and once again, they find themselves an underdog this week against Iowa State. The Cougars have been nothing but solid this season, averaging 29.8 points per game against the Big 12 and winning four conference games by an average margin of 6.5 points per game.
Iowa State, on the other hand, is close to playing themselves out of the Big 12 championship game and the College Football Playoffs, as they have lost two games in a row. The loss to Colorado was especially alarming as the Buffaloes are a below .500 team.
The Cyclones are coming off a bye and get this game at home; however, BYU has continued to show their resiliency. For that reason, our BYU Cougars vs Iowa State Cyclones prediction is: BYU Cougars +3.5 Alternate Spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
