The Cyclones were guilty of looking past FCS opponent North Dakota State in their opener and it resulted in a rout.<\/p>\n<p>They put forth a much better effort in their Week 2 matchup against Kansas State, leading the game 28-13 late in the fourth quarter, but they couldn\u2019t close that one out.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The Cyclones defense has allowed 976 yards of offense through two games, with 534 of those yards coming on the ground. On offense, the team hasn\u2019t been overly impressive, accumulating 5.5 yards per attempt through the air and 3.3 yards per attempt on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Things haven\u2019t been very different for the Hawkeyes. Their ground game has been slow out of the gates. Quarterback Jake Rudock\u2019s 53 rushing yards lead the team. It\u2019s been another story with the team\u2019s rush defense, though. That unit hasn\u2019t allowed a rushing touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve also really tightened down as a whole inside the red zone, with opponents kicking field goals in each of five trips into the Hawkeyes\u2019 red zone.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawkeyes will be looking for a sixth consecutive non-conference victory in the regular season when they take to the field in this one.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because the team was able to rally last weekend against Ball State, scoring 14 points in the final six points of that one to down the red birds 17-13.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Iowa vs. Iowa State Pick:<\/h3>\n<p>Iowa simply outclasses Iowa State at the moment, and should be able to continue their dominance in the series between these two instate rivals.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>10 points is a lot of points to give away on a team that\u2019s struggled on offense as much as the Hawkeyes have thus far, but a date with the Cyclones\u2019 defense should cure what ails them.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a low number in this one considering the class of defenders the Cyclones bring to Iowa City on this day.<\/p>\n<p>They should give a decent boost to an Iowa offense looking to make a statement. As for the Iowa State offense, they\u2019ll come out motivated and find a way to put points on the board.<\/p>\n<p>The Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss, while the Cyclones are 1-5 ATS in their last six non-conference games.<\/p>\n<p>The over is 5-0 in the Hawkeyes\u2019 last five games versus opponents with a losing record, and it is 4-1-1 in the Cyclones\u2019 last six road games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4* Free NCAA\u00a0play: Iowa -10, Over 48.5<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NCAA Week 3 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated CFB Week 3 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 3: Cyclones vs Hawkeyes Prediction College Football Week 3 betting action sees the Iowa Hawkeyes taking on the Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday, Sept. 13 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.
