Rivalry games mean extra incentive on defense and that's the case with these state rivals. Iowa State is a veteran team that can play any style, going five straight games UNDER the total. Iowa State is ranked fourth nationally in field-goal percentage defense (34.6%). The Cyclones have allowed 55 and 47 points the last two contests and are 17-5 UNDER the total when following a spread cover. They face a young, rebuilding Iowa team with a slew of freshmen. The Hawkeyes turned in one of their best defensive performances of the season as they rolled over Stetson 95-68 to end a four-game slide. Iowa is 13-5 UNDER the total as a home underdog and expect an all-out defensive effort by both squads in this area rivalry. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
