Our Iowa Hawkeyes vs Iowa State Cyclones Prediction
One of the major problems with Iowa over the past several seasons has been its ability to score points consistently. The Hawkeyes did score 34 points in their season opener, but considering this was against Albany, it is fair to expect much less from them against Iowa State.
As for Iowa State, they have already been tested this season, beating Kansas State in Ireland in Week 0 before crushing South Dakota in Week 1. Despite their lack of competition in Week 1, the Cyclones are averaging nearly 40 points per game, while their defense has allowed an average of 14 points per game.
Despite their general lack of offense, Iowa’s defense tends to be very good. Because of that, a low-scoring game should be expected in this rivalry game. However, even if this game is low scoring, because the Cyclones’ offense has looked extremely efficient through the first couple of weeks, our Iowa Hawkeyes vs Iowa State Cyclones prediction is: Iowa State Cyclones ML.Jackpot Pools
