Arkansas State vs. Iowa State Betting Prediction

These two teams will not be playing on equal rest. Arkansas State went to Michigan last weekend and lost 28-18. They easily covered the 21.5 spread against the Wolverines thanks to 15 fourth-quarter points and 3 takeaways. The Red Wolves look to be in a good spot to make it two ATS wins in a row here.

Iowa State last played on September 7th. On that date, the Cyclones beat Iowa on the road to win the Cy-Hawk Trophy with a 54-yard field goal with under 10 seconds remaining. The Cyclones had an open date last weekend, but that might not be a good thing.

Since the start of the 2019 season, Iowa State is 3-5 ATS when playing an opponent with the rest advantage and 5-8 ATS after a bye week. Those two numbers combined with the possibility of an emotional letdown lead me to believe that Arkansas State should be able to keep this game close. The Red Wolves covered last weekend, and I like them to do it again in Ames on Saturday. I’m taking Arkansas State and the points in this one.
