Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Iowa State Cyclones Prediction

I’m on Iowa State here. I just think that the Cyclones are the better team in this game by a fair margin, and let’s not ignore that Arizona State has been horrendous on the road in Big 12 play this season. I think Iowa State at home on senior day drills ASU here so give me Iowa State.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Iowa State -15.5
