Eastern Illinois Panthers vs Iowa State Cyclones prediction
The Eastern Illinois Panthers have some ugly losses on their resume, and it’s because their offense goes into its shell whenever playing decent teams. The Iowa State Cyclones are not only racking up the wins, but they’re 8-3 ATS on the season. We also know how Iowa State can shoot the rock at the James H. Hilton Coliseum, and it has a history of burying teams at home. Thick line, but Eastern Illinois lacks the offensive firepower to keep up. Give me the Cyclones.
