Arkansas State at Iowa State selections and predictions

Prediction

Iowa is 33, Arkansas is 20

Moneyline

PASSAGE.

There is no value here. The Cyclones (-1600) should win at home, but the lay price is way too expensive. Considering how well Arkansas State played against Michigan, you shouldn’t even consider Iowa State in a ML parlay.

Against the spread

BET ON ARKANSAS STATE +20.5 (-105).

The Red Wolves have impressed in three games. They won their first two to start the season and finished with 222 passing yards against a competent Michigan secondary. They should be able to sustain drives against the Cyclones.

Iowa State has yet to score more than 21 points in a game. The Cyclones’ limited offensive success will make it tough to cover. Take STATE OF ARKANSAS +20.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET ABOVE 51.5 (-115).

Arkansas State has scored a total of 62 points in the first two games of this season.

Iowa State’s offense should now be more on the ball than it has been in recent weeks, while Arkansas State will continue to play at a high tempo, one that has already seen plenty of mistakes.

To take MORE THAN 51.5 (-115).
