Iowa State football looks to get to 3-1 past Texas Tech football on Saturday.
Iowa State football will have its shot to prove it’s the best team in the Big 12 here soon.
The No. 24 Iowa State Cyclones may have a non-conference loss this season, but it is to the No. 23 Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns. Louisiana is well-coached under Billy Napier, just like Iowa State is well-coached under Matt Campbell. The Cyclones will look to get to 3-0 in Big 12 play by handing Texas Tech football its third straight conference loss of the 2020 campaign. Will they do it?

Iowa State will be laying 12 points at home to the visiting Texas Tech Red Raiders. The associated money lines for this game are Iowa State -450 and Texas Tech + 325. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 64.5 points. The lines have held steady for the most part since they opened. It may be a point lower in some places, but that’s it. Odds are from OddsShark.
This is a difficult game to wager on for a few reasons. The first thing to recognize here is Iowa State almost always plays close games under Campbell. So with that in mind, let’s pick the Red Raiders getting points here. When was the last time Iowa State blew anybody out anyway? However, we should anticipate this one getting over the 64.5 combined point threshold.
Typically, Iowa State would prefer to play a low-scoring defensive-minded game, but going up against a pass-heavy Texas Tech team, that logic will be thrown out the window. Iowa State will need to score a lot to keep pace with the Red Raiders offense. However, they have the star quarterback in Brock Purdy to win somewhat of a good, old-fashioned Big 12 shootout in Ames.
Pick: Iowa State 38, Texas Tech 31
