(389) Iowa State at (390) Iowa: Spread
7:30pm EDT - Sep 12/2026

THE PLAY: 2% Iowa State +14.0 (-110)

(389) Iowa State at (390) Iowa: Spread

2% Iowa State +14.0 (-110)

A 14-point spread is substantial in a rivalry game, particularly in the Iowa–Iowa State series, where recent results have favored the road team.

  • The road team has covered in five consecutive meetings

  • four straight covers as a road underdog.

  • Road underdogs are 10-3 against the spread (ATS) in its last 13 meetings in this series

Iowa St. specifically has performed especially well on the road in recent years in this series. They are 10-3 ATS in the last 13 games at Iowa, and keeping the game within 5 points on average, despite being a double-digit underdog (on average) in those games.

Iowa’s performance under Kirk Ferentz in this specific role is another concern. The Hawkeyes are just 9-22-2 ATS in their last 33 opportunities as a home favorite laying between (-8) and (-16.5) points.

Consultant Bio

MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HIM @JMSportsCLE

Yet another handicapper from the Cleveland area following Marc Lawrence, Phil Steele, Ralph Michaels, Ed Meyer, and Bryan Leonard. In fact, Jeff's hunger for handicapping began at a young age, being surrounded by parents who made sports betting a daily routine. Jeff then worked for both North Coast Sports and Phil Steele Publications, learning the intricacies of sports betting and becoming a profitable handicapper. Throughout his college years, Jeff's mathematical and analytical prowess helped him develop a betting strategy that turned sports betting into a profitable venture.

Jeff now joins the Sports Memo Marketplace after selling picks on several small sites. Jeff handicaps the traditional sports of NFL, CFB, the NBA, College Basketball, and MLB while showing real prowess in the WNBA. He has dominated the teaser market and has spent a lot of his focus on sides. While also adding in a share of props (especially NFL & MLB), as well as totals.
