Iowa State allowed just 20 points to Iowa, but I am not sure how much of that is due to the defense or Iowa's offense. Ohio's run defense held Florida Atlantic to just 5 yards rushing. Iowa State is a top 31 defense, allowing just 14.5 points a game. Ohio is top 25 in defense, allowing just over 13 points per game. Iowa State has gone under the point total in eight of their last nine games and they have gone under in both of their contests this season. Their defense has allowed 14 or fewer points in four of their previous five games. They allowed 15 or more points in only four of their 12 games last season and they have allowed a total of 29 points during their first two games of this season. The Bobcats went under the point total in their first three games this season and they have pushed or gone under in their previous six regular season games. Their defense has allowed 13.33 points per game in their first three games. Ohio put up just 10 points against the Cyclones last season. I am looking for a defensive struggle in this game and for it to stay under the number.

Play on the Under. This is a 3% play
