Houston's offense has struggled throughout the season, with their only strong performance coming against Rice, a team that has yet to win against an FBS opponent. The Cougars' offensive line has been a particular weakness, contributing to quarterback Donovan Smith's struggles. In three out of four games this season, Houston has been held to 12 points or fewer.

Iowa State's defense is known for pressuring quarterbacks and stopping the run, ranking 12th in EPA/Pass Allowed and 21st in Defensive Line Yards.

Even though Iowa State scored 52 points against Arkansas State, the under has hit in two of their other games, with both games staying below 39 points combined.
