Why bet on Colorado State versus #5 Iowa?
In their first couple of games, the Rams struggled. But another look reveals Colorado State played at least one Top 25 team. Losing to Vanderbilt, an SEC squad, at home makes some sense. San Diego State, who beat Colorado State 42-23 in the Rams’ first game, is one of the better teams on the west coast. CSU shouldn’t win this on the moneyline. But they have a big chance of providing a cover victory.

#5 Iowa versus Colorado State Final Betting Prediction
The Hawkeyes are one of those defense first Big Ten squads. Iowa doesn’t run a spread offense. Instead, they rely on a giant offensive line to move the pile.
Then, when their opponents have the ball, the Hawkeyes play defense as well as any team in the nation. The Hawkeyes aren’t flashy, which means there’s an outside chance the Rams cover.
But Iowa faces a team that doesn’t score a ton of points. Vanderbilt allows 28.3 per. The Rams scored 21 in a home loss to the Commodores.
It’s doubtful Colorado State scores more than 3 to 7 in this. If that happens, Iowa will cover because the Hawkeyes should score at least 35.
