College Football Betting Trends
Notre Dame
The Fighting Irish are 5-1 with the under in their last six games on a neutral field and 5-2 with the under in their last seven games as a favorite.
Iowa State
The Cyclones are 6-0-1 with the under in their last seven bowl games and 7-0-1 with the under in their last eight neutral-site games.
Prediction:
The trends support the under so that is the direction I am going. Notre Dame has a great defense that has turned the corner over the last month of the season. Iowa State has some talent on offense, but the Cyclones don’t face a lot of great defenses in the Big 12. I don’t think the Fighting Irish are going to be able to march all over the Iowa State defense either. I think the story of the game is going to be the ND defense, which will lead to the under hitting on Saturday.
