Iowa State at Texas picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 77, Iowa State 65

Moneyline

AVOID.

Even though Texas (-350) is expected to win at home, betting on the Longhorns to win at the current odds is not worth the risk with the profit for a victory being minimal.

Against the spread

After losing on the road to Iowa State earlier this season, TEXAS -6.5 (-115) is the ideal choice at home. Every win is extremely important for the Longhorns ahead of a March 4 matchup against Kansas.

The Cyclones are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record and 3-6 ATS in their 9 road games this season.

Over/Under

OVER 136.5 (-105) feels like the favorable choice in this Big 12 showdown. Texas averages 79.7 points per game (25th in the nation) and 73.3 possessions per game (45th in the nation).

The Longhorns are 9-1-1 to the Over in their last 11 home games and the Over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these programs.

Iowa State at Texas odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Iowa State at Texas odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Iowa State Cyclones (3-3, 0-3 Big 12) and the Texas Longhorns (4-2, 2-1) meet in a conference game at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Iowa State vs. Texas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Cyclones opened the season 3-0 straight up (SU) and 2-1 against the spread (ATS), including a low-scoring 10-7 win over rival Iowa. Conference play has been a different story, however, as they’ve dropped 3 in a row SU with a 0-2-1 ATS record.

The Longhorns are coming off their best game of the season, pounding Oklahoma by a 49-0 score in the Red River Rivalry game in Dallas last weekend. The Longhorns have 2 losses, but they’re an impressive 5-1 ATS.

Texas is No. 24 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Iowa State at Texas picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 26, Iowa State 17

Moneyline

Texas (-850) will cost you 8½ times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive in a game which should be fairly close. Plus, over the long term, wagers like these are just not recommended.

PASS.

Against the spread

IOWA STATE +15.5 (-112) is worth playing catching more than 2 touchdowns. The Cyclones have put on a show defensively, allowing 14 or fewer points in 5 of their 6 games so far. The offense has struggled, but the D will keep them in in the game.

Texas could have a little bit of a hangover following its thorough beating of rival Oklahoma last week. It’s hard to bring it with that kind of heat 2 games in a row.

Over/Under

UNDER 48.5 (-108) is the lean in this one.

Again, Iowa State’s defense has been on point. It has allowed just 13.7 points per game to rank 8th in the nation, while yielding just 277.5 total yards per game to check in 11th overall.

Plus, the Under is 7-1 in the past 8 head-to-head meetings in Austin, while cashing in each of the previous 7 in this series overall.

The No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones (16-6, 3-6 Big 12) travel to meet the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (16-6, 5-4) Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Iowa State vs. Texas odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Cyclones are looking to get on track after another conference loss last time out against Kansas. Iowa State slipped to 3-6 inside the conference, and 4-6 SU after winning the first 12 games to open the season.

The Longhorns also suffered a loss in their most recent showing, falling 77-64 at Texas Tech Feb. 1. Texas has had trouble notching covers lately, going 1-5 ATS across the past six outings overall.

Iowa State at Texas odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas 69, Iowa State 64

Money line

Texas (-420) will cost you more than four times your potential return, and that’s just way too expensive considering the fact Iowa State (+320) won the first meeting by a 79-70 score, Jan. 15, as 2.5-point underdogs in the first meeting.

AVOID.

Against the spread

IOWA STATE +8.5 (-112) is the play catching points. The Cyclones are 5-2-1 ATS in the past eight games on the road, while going 9-3-1 ATS in the past 13 games as an underdog. One of those covers is a straight-up win over Texas -8.5 (-108) in the first meeting. Look for the Cyclones to keep it within single points.

Over/Under

The OVER 121.5 (-107) is a slam-dunk play in this Big 12 battle. The last time these teams met in Ames, Iowa, Jan. 15, the teams combined for 149 points with the total closing at 121. Scoring might not be as prolific in this one, but the game should be well Over. It’s hard to understand why the books set this one so low, but go with it.

  • Over/Under: 139.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Iowa State at Texas: Three things to know

  1. The Cyclones have their work cut out for them in seeking their first Big 12 victory of the season. Over three in-conference losses, the Cyclones have turned the ball over 19.0 times per game while allowing 73.3 points per game. ISU is just 2-8 over its last 10 conference games, but one of those wins — an 81-52 Feb. 15 rout — was against these Longhorns.
  2. G Courtney Ramey paced the Longhorns in an impressive 84-59 win at Kansas Saturday. Ramey went 7-for-11 from the floor in notching an 18-point game. The junior is posting career highs in scoring (13.7 points per game) and assists (3.4 per game) through nine games.
  3. Texas has won 11 straight games when favored by double-digits at home. The Longhorns are 6-5 against the spread in such games and have covered in three of their last four contests.

Iowa State at Texas: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Texas 77, Iowa State 63

Money line (ML)

Iowa State hasn’t won on the road since Feb. 16, 2019, a stretch of 16 straight games. Texas has played a solid schedule and is performing at an elite level at both ends of the floor. Pegging the figure at -900 misses the mark and offers some value for bigger bettors looking to avoid the big number to cover in a conference game.

TAKE THE LONGHORNS -900.

Against the spread (ATS)

The ‘Horns are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 games and 5-0 ATS in their last five home contests against Iowa State.

With strong offensive rebounding and the likelihood of a big advantage at the charity stripe, look for a double-digit lead that turns into a game-control exercise for the home five.

Figure on a 12-to-14-point cushion, so it’s WORTH THE RISK ON TEXAS -12.5 (+100).

Over/Under (O/U)

This one could be headed toward a 145 and fizzle all-too-easily in garbage time. PASS.

Iowa State at Texas: Three things to know

  1. Iowa State RB Breece Hall leads the nation in rushing with 1,169 yards. Hall has piled up eight 100-yard games in 2020 – every ISU game this season. He ran for 101 yards on 24 carries when these teams met in Ames, Iowa, last season (Nov. 16, 2019). The Cyclones won that game 23-21 on PK Connor Assalley’s 36-yard field goal as time expired. Iowa State – a 7-point favorite – led Texas 20-7 heading into the fourth quarter, but the Longhorns battled back to take a 21-20 lead on a pair of touchdown tosses by QB Sam Ehlinger before the Cyclones kicked the winning field goal.
  2. The Cyclones and Longhorns control their own destinies in attempting to reach the Dec. 19 Big 12 Championship Game. But ISU will need to flip some historical trends if it wants to get there and win it. Iowa State has beaten Texas just three times in 17 all-time meetings, and the Cyclones only have won once in Austin (2010). ISU hasn’t won a conference title since 1912 and has never played in a conference championship game.
  3. Texas hasn’t played since Nov. 7, when it registered a 17-13 home win over West Virginia. The Longhorns’ Nov. 21 game at Kansas was postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Jayhawks program. Following bye/postponement weeks this season, the ‘Horns are 2-0 straight-up and 0-1-1 ATS.

Iowa State at Texas: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Iowa State 29, Texas 27

Money line (ML)

Iowa State is the lean in principle, but PASS unless you can find your way to some value on a play at +110 or better.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Cyclones are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings with the Longhorns. Analytics are more in support of what ISU has done on the season as a whole, but the Texas defense has been solid over recent games.

The Iowa State passing game against a weak Texas pass defense makes for a big difference maker in this one. Back the CYCLONES +1 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 22-4 in the Longhorns’ last 26 home games against foes with a winning record. The Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings between the Longhorns and Cyclones, and the low side is the lean in Saturday’s tilt in Austin. Back the UNDER 56.5 (-110).
