Baylor at Iowa State picks and predictions
Prediction
Iowa State 31, Baylor 17
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on Iowa State (-450), who is undefeated and playing at home.
Against the spread
BET IOWA STATE -11.5 (-110).
Iowa State has allowed 7 points or fewer in 3 of its 4 games this season and has covered the spread in each of its last 3 weeks. Its defense will play a key factor in not only winning but covering as Baylor has demonstrated an ability to score the ball this season.
Over/Under
BET OVER 44.5 (-115).
Iowa State has hit the Over in 2 of its last 3 weeks while scoring at least 20 points in each game this season. Baylor has hit the Over in back-to-back weeks while scoring 28 or more points in 4 of its 5 games. With the Cyclones’ strong defense, their offense will need to carry a majority of the load, which is possible with a lower-than-usual total.
