- Analysis
- At 3:30 pm, our selection is on the Iowa State Cyclones minus the points over BYU. We played on the Cougars last week in their rivalry game vs. Utah, and got the $$$ with a 24-21 upset win. This week, we'll look for an emotional letdown, and fade BYU off its upset win. Indeed, it has gone just 14-23-1 ATS following an upset win, while the Cyclones are 11-2 ATS at home vs. conference foes off an upset win, if Iowa State was not laying more than 7 points. Additionally, Big 12 (and Big 8 teams before that) have cashed just 34.1% on the road since 1980 off upset wins, if matched up against a foe off back-to-back losses. Finally, the Cyclones fall into several of my favorite systems, including ones with records of 185-111, 149-78 and 35-10 ATS. Lay the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
