Iowa State vs Kansas Prediction
Iowa State is a buzz saw at home and this is a revenge spot for the Cyclones after getting waxed by the Jayhawks last month. We’re also never sure what we’re going to get from Darryn Peterson night to night. With all that said this line feels disrespectful toward a Kansas team that’s found its stride during an 8-game winning streak. Kansas just beat Texas Tech on the road and gave Arizona its first loss. Kansas is getting production across the board and is 16-8 ATS on the season. We just saw Iowa State lose to TCU for what it’s worth. Kansas is too good to turn down this many points regardless of opponent or venue. Give me the points.
