The defense has played well this season for Iowa State. Last week they shut out the Jayhawks, and held them to 106 total yards of offense. Impressive, even against Kansas.

Texas Tech entered last weeks game ranked 24th in the country. This week they will start unranked. The Red Raiders could have a bit of a hangover from last weeks loss.

4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Iowa State +7. Free ATS final score pick provided below!
Iowa State is 2-1 in conference play this season. Seems to me like the change at quarterback has put new life into the Cyclones program the past few weeks. Expect their play to continue to get better.
Texas Tech seems to always find a way to get ranked between 20 and 25, then get demolished by a conference foe. Only to lose their ranking and go to a low level bowl game. The pattern will start again this week with another loss. Take Iowas State on the road for the win.
