The Iowa Hawkeyes are 40-21 SU all-time against their in-state rivals<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iowa State has dropped its first two games of the 2014 campaign, including a 32-28 setback to Kansas State as 11.5-point home underdogs last Saturday\u2014getting out-gained by 405 combined yards in those contests.\u00a0 The Cyclones are a disappointing 21-40 all-time in this series, which is important to consider when making your Week 3 college football predictions, but they\u2019ve captured nine of the last 16 games in the in-state rivalry.\u00a0 Iowa State is 3-4 SU and 5-1 ATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cyclones have scored 28 of their 42 points in the second quarter this season, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson completed 21-of-30 passes for 185 yards in last week\u2019s affair, while he totaled 260 yards through the air in last year\u2019s meeting in this series.\u00a0 Defensively, senior linebacker Jevohn Miller is the main player to watch, as he ranks second in the Big 12 Conference and 42nd nationally in averaging 10.0 tackles per game.<\/p>\n

Iowa is off to a perfect 2-0 SU start despite failing to cover the number in each of those affairs, while it has also won five consecutive non-conference regular season games.\u00a0 The Hawkeyes attempted 55 passes in Week 2 against Ball State, which marked the highest number of pass attempts for an Iowa team under longtime head coach Kirk Ferentz since the 2006 Outback Bowl.\u00a0 Defensively, the unit is one of 13 teams nationally not to allow a rushing touchdown in its first two affairs.\u00a0 Iowa is 11-6 SU and 5-12 ATS as favorites since 2012.<\/p>\n

The Hawkeyes have used nine first-time starters in the opening two weeks, with three coming on defense, four coming on offense and two in special teams.\u00a0 Iowa holds an all-time record of 55-33 against current members of the Big 12 Conference, while it has compiled a 23-13 record in this series when playing in Iowa City.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Cyclones due to the Hawkeyes being 4-12 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n
