Iowa State Cyclones vs NC Wilmington Seahawks Point Spread Picks

A tough start for North Carolina-Wilmington, beginning the season in Iowa. They got smoked by Iowa the last game (82-39), shooting 22%, and now head to Iowa State two days later. Iowa led 48-12 at the half! UNC-Wilmington doesn't have anyone back who averaged at least 10 points a game last season. The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Meanwhile, Iowa State has new faces on a team that went 23-12 last year, including crushing Notre Dame and losing to Ohio State on a last-second shot in the NCAA tournament.

The Cyclones are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 home games, and hold all the cards. Play Iowa State.
