IU Indy vs. Iowa State Prediction

I’m on IU Indy here. Don’t get me wrong. Iowa State’s winning this Game, but we’re talking about a boatload of points with Iowa State in a complete look-ahead Game here with the #1 ranked team on deck. Not to mention, this isn’t the IU Indy teams of years past that have been trashed by some of the best in the country. IU Indy battled Xavier earlier this year for a cover, and while Iowa State will likely win comfortably, this feels like a bit much. Give me the Jaguars and the points.
