IUPUI vs Iowa State Prediction
The IUPUI Jaguars lost to Eastern Michigan as a favorite, but I’m going to chalk that to looking ahead to this game. IUPUI put up a fight against Xavier in its opener. The Iowa State Cyclones have the horses to blow the doors off, especially at home, but this is a massive look-ahead spot with Auburn and Marquette on deck. A ton of points in this spot, and it creates room for a backdoor cover. This will be just the seventh time since 2019 that Iowa State is a favorite of 30 or more points. I’ll take my chances with the IUPUI Jaguars and the free points.
Randy Chambers's Pick: IUPUI +35.5
