ISU is coming into this game with a 13-3 record overall and they are 10-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 5th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 1-3 in their conference games this season. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

Their offense is averaging 70.4 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 58.6 PPG against them. ISU has an ATS record of 10-6 this season and their O/U record is 6-10.

 

ISU is coming into this game as a 2 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. ISU has not been winning in their conference games but they have already played Baylor when they were the number 1 team in the nation still on their big winning streak, and they had to play their other 2 games on the road. They even played Baylor very well only losing by 5 points and they are coming off of a game where they lost on the road to a good Kansas side by just 1 point. Texas has been having a great season with a 13-3 record overall but they have lost all 3 of their games this season on the road. They have only played 1 conference game on the road this season but they lost to Oklahoma State who is not that good and they really have not played any great teams on their schedule yet. ISU is going to be hungry for a win here after that 1 point loss to Kansas on the road and they have a great chance of getting that win here at home. The best bet to place in this game is on ISU to cover the spread and to win this game as they are going to upset Texas here.
