TCU VS IOWA STATE PREDICTION 

This Iowa State team is really starting to struggle offensively without their star player Haliburton, who they lost for the year only 2 weeks ago. Iowa State is 0-10 this year when they score 68 points or less. TCU’s defense should be able to keep the Cyclones under that number. TCU has had the Cyclones number in recent seasons and they should be able to continue that trend tonight to cover the spread and possibly win outright.
