Iowa vs Iowa State Pick: The Betting Analysis

One of the main handicapping tools that we use for the GoldSheet newsletter each week is a box score analysis. Which team played better, but lost unfortunate turnovers the week before?

Which team had unusual variance on third and fourth downs? Over the last few seasons, Iowa has broken that mold.

Iowa vs Iowa State Prediction: Iowa Football Preview

Utah State out-gained the Hawkeyes by 60 yards last week and held a 4.8 to 4.2 advantage in yards per play, but Iowa was never threatened in the contest.

That’s been a rinse-and-repeat staple for most of Iowa’s wins over the last few seasons. The Hawkeyes had a 14-0 lead after two Cade McNamara touchdowns in the first quarter and the air came out of the ball after that.

McNamara was listed as questionable prior to that game, and there were points in the contest where he seemed bothered by a quad injury. Backup Deacon Hill finished the win over the Aggies.

Iowa State Football Preview

The Cyclones had a larger margin of victory in their Week 1 win over FCS-level Northern Iowa, but they were less impressive than the Hawkeyes.

Iowa State was out-gained 279-250 against their in-state foe, and the Hawkeyes had eight fewer first downs.

Iowa vs Iowa State Prediction: The PICK

Keep an eye on McNamara’s status through out the week, but assuming he’s good-to-go, the Hawkeyes should continue their success in this series. Iowa had a six-game win streak in the battle for the CyHawk snapped with a 10-7 loss at home last year.

The Hawkeyes have only been a ‘dog in Ames one time since 2000, and that came in 2021 when Iowa escaped with a 27-17 win. That was the only time in the last four meetings that either team scored more than 17 points.
