The Iowa State Cyclones will look to pull off the big upset over the fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners when they host the national championship title hopefuls in a Week 3 contest that looks like a huge mismatch on the surface.
If you’re wondering whether or not Iowa State can get the outright win or cover the chalk as a near, three-touchdown home underdog, then let’s get to my expert pick right now.
Why should you bet on the Cyclones in this Week 3 affair? Because they’re playing at home and getting close to three touchdowns worth of points. Iowa State scored the first points of the game against Iowa early in the first quarter but that’s about where the good news ended for the Cyclones seeing as how they never found their way into the end zone again.
“At the line of scrimmage, where games are still won in this sport, they dominated. And we didn’t respond,” Campbell said.
Quarterback Kyle Kempt completed 15 of 21 passes for 126 yards before leaving with a “dinged” MCL, but the Cyclones were held to a pitiful 19 rushing yards on 25 team carries.
“I don’t think it’s season ending by any stretch of the imagination,” Campbell said of Kempt’s injury.

Why Bet On Oklahoma?
Why should you bet on Oklahoma in this Week 3 pairing? Because the Sooners have far more talent on their roster than Iowa State, not to mention, they’re one of the best offensive teams in the game today and they’ve looked fantastic through two games this season. Oklahoma improved to 2-0 on the season by spanking UCLA 49-21 on Saturday after beating Florida Atlantic 63-14 in their opener. The bruins got out to an early 7-0 lead but the Sooners then scored 42 consecutive points to put their opponents away. Quarterback Kyler Murray completed 19 of 33 passes for 306 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 69 rushing yards and two scores on 10 carries. “You think there would be a big drop off when you go from a Heisman Trophy winner, but that kid’s very special,” UCLA head coach Chip Kelly said of Murray. The Sooners, who held a 21-7 lead at the half, held UCLA to a modest 133 yards before the half and sacked UCLA freshman quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson five times.Team Statistics
