Cincinnati vs. Iowa State Prediction:

Take the Cyclones to cover the 7.5 points at home on Saturday night. Both teams are looking for a bounce back but the Cyclones are returning to their home field. Iowa State’s defense has struggled a bit lately but they have allowed just 20.8 points per game on the season. On offense, the Cyclones are averaging 32.4 points per game. They average 8.3 yards per pass attempt which is 18th in the country, and 13.9 yards per completion which is good for 13th in the country. On the opposite side, the Bearcats are ranked 115th in opponent yards per completion, allowing 13.4, and 113th in opp yards per attempt allowing 8.5. They are also not very good against the run, allowing 4.4 yards per rush attempt which is 76th in the country. I think the Cyclones get back on track and take care of business on Saturday night.      

Cincinnati vs. Iowa State Prediction: Iowa State -7.5
