"December 7: Iowa-Iowa State Total, Big Ten Predictions, and Hoops Hysteria at Hilton"

The Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones will face off in a college basketball game, with Iowa State favored by 7 points. Iowa State has a strong defense, ranking fifth in the country in points allowed per possession, while Iowa is an uptempo team looking to score over 80 points. However, Iowa's offense and shooting percentages drop significantly on the road, and Iowa State's defense is particularly effective at home. As a result, the game is expected to be more defensive-oriented than anticipated, leading to a recommendation to bet on the under 157 total points.
