Utah vs. Iowa State Free Pick
No. 10 Utah will travel to Jack Trice Stadium this Saturday to take on an Iowa State team that is undefeated at home this year. Read on for our free pick of this Week 6 matchup.
Before we get to this free pick, let’s take a look at the odds.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Utah a 6-point road favorite over Iowa State in Week 6. The over/under total for this game is currently 55 points.
The Utes are a perfect 4-0 overall this year and 3-0-1 against the number. They’ve only played on the road one other time this season, but beat New Mexico State 56-14 as a 21.5-point favorite. Their push came in Week 1 against Pittsburgh when they beat the Panthers, 27-24.
The Cyclones are 3-2 this year, but a perfect 3-0 at home. They’re 3-2 against the spread this season, but have covered in all three of their home games and are only allowing 16 points per game at Jack Trice Stadium.
The Free Pick:
It’s awfully tough to pick against Utah, especially when they’re only laying six points. But Iowa State is 4-0 against the number in their last four home games and 4-1 against the spread in their last five non-conference games. The Utes, meanwhile, are 1-6 against the number in their last seven games as a road favorite of 3.5-10 points and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. There is always value in taking the home underdog getting points, which is why my pick is Iowa State +6.
