The Cy-Hawk Trophy is up for grabs on Saturday when the Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0) and Iowa State Cyclones (1-0) square off at Jack Trice Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at Iowa at Iowa State odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
Both teams are ranked in the USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll entering the 68th edition of this in-state rivalry. The preseason No. 18 Hawkeyes looked dominant in its debut, beating No. 17 Indiana 34-6 last week behind a defense that allowed just 233 total yards and saw DB Riley Moss return two interceptions for touchdowns.
No. 8 Iowa State looked rustier in its tune-up last week. They were a 29-point favorite against FCS opponent Northern Iowa but squeaked by in a 16-10 win. This is a consensus top-10 Cyclone team that won six of its last seven games in 2020 and might have been caught looking ahead to this in-state showdown.
