OUR PICK: Baylor can score but will Iowa State contribute enough offense to push the score over the total? It’s doubtful. The under is 5-2-1 in the last eight meetings between these two teams. The under is also 4-0 in the Bears’ last four games overall, is 5-0 in their last five games versus a team with a losing record and is 4-1 in their last five road games. The under is also 13-6-1 in the Cyclones’ last 20 games overall and is 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games.
