West Virginia at Iowa State

October 3, 2026
img12:00 PM Eastern

I had Iowa State and the OVER against Bowling Green two weeks ago, and both cashed in a 55-7 game. Utah then ran for 205 yards against that defense and won 31-17. West Virginia is 3-1, and Iowa State is 2-2. The Mountaineers have run for 281, 316, 247, and 335 yards, and the 335 came on 66 carries against Oklahoma State. West Virginia's defense gave up 609 yards and 41 points in that game, which is the problem for this side. Iowa State's defense allows 16.0 points a game, but that average includes 10 against Southeast Missouri State and 7 against Bowling Green. The Cyclones' offense has scored 13 and 17 in its two games against Power-conference opponents, and Jaylen Raynor averaged 5.1 yards per pass against Utah. Respected money is on West Virginia to win outright. Side with West Virginia ATS.

Iowa State at West Virginia

October 12, 2024
img8:00 PM Eastern

Iowa State is off to its best start since 1980 with a 5-0 record and defense has been a big part of it as the Cyclones still are allowing only 10.0 points per game after beating Baylor 43-21 last week. West Virginia stayed UNDER by 12.5 points in its 38-14 victory over Oklahoma State and the Mountaineers are 7-0 UNDER after yielding fewer than 275 total yards their previous game. The Cowboys were held to 34 rushing yards on 22 carries by the Mountaineer defense. Iowa State is 6-1 UNDER their past seven games as road favorites of 0.5-3.0 points. Six of the past nine meetings have gone UNDER. Look for a lower-scoring contest and play the UNDER.
