Iowa State Cyclones vs Utah Utes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

After starting the season 7-0, 2 straight losses for the Iowa State Cyclones put a damper on their dreams for this season of a College Football Playoff appearance. The 2 losses were against Texas Tech at home and Kansas on the road. This team proved that it could bounce back last week when it defeated Cincinnati 34-17. Quarterback Rocco Becht threw for 234 yards and 1 touchdown in the victory. Up next are the 4-6 Utah Utes. Utah started its season 4-0 but hasn’t won since due to a plethora of injuries. The Utes’ last loss was a 49-24 defeat to the 17th-ranked Colorado Buffalos. Isaac Wilson, freshman quarterback and brother of NFL quarterback Zach Wilson, is the current starting B for the Utes. Wilson has had trouble avoiding the turnover bug this season with 11 interceptions to only 10 touchdowns.

Utah will need to overcome a host of injuries if it wants to play spoiler in this game. Some key injuries for the Utes include starting quarterback Cam Rising, tight end Brant Kuithe, receiver Money Parks and plenty more. The main concern for the Utes during this 6-game losing streak has been turnovers — 21 in total this season. This will play out well for Iowa State, which has 18 takeaways. Despite the struggles offensively, Utah has always proven to be a tough team to beat on its home field this season because of its defense. Iowa State’s offense has slowed down near the end of this season and I believe playing in altitude and on the road in conference will cause more problems for the Cyclones. I like for these teams to stay under the total.

Iowa State vs Utah prediction: Under 41.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
