Our early Iowa State vs. Iowa predictions expect the Hawkeyes to cover this field goal spread against their in-state rivals.
Early lines have the Hawkeyes favored by a field goal over the Cyclones, and the hosts should cover in what is expected to be a game with little scoring.
The Cyclones will probably need more from quarterback Rocco Becht, and he struggled in last year’s 20-13 loss to Iowa in Week 2. His 2024 debut was strong, a 20-for-26 performance for 267 yards and two scores, but Iowa will not make it easy. With Cade McNamara back at QB for the Hawkeyes after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in Week 5 of the 2023 year, they should find enough offense to cover the spread.The Cyclones and Hawkeyes have seen the Under cash in each of their last five matchups. If we use the total for Week 2, it’s still a healthy 3-1-1 Under record. The only time they’ve combined for 36 points or more was in 2021 when Iowa won 27-17.
