Betting on the Western Michigan Broncos
- Regular Season Record: 3-7
- DraftKings Spread: +22.5
- DraftKings Moneyline: +1800
- DraftKings Over/Under: 128
At this point, Western Michigan might not be considered a dangerous opponent for all they have been through in 10 games, where they have only been able to win three of them. Their wins came against Goshen by 99-62, against Houston Christian by 90-84, and against Concordia by 94-50, but none of them came in a row.
They fell to Illinois by 62-56 last week, picking up their seventh loss of the campaign. They have the second most losses at the moment in the Mid-American Conference and desperately need to start winning to avoid falling to the bottom of the standings.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones
- Regular Season Record: 8-2
- DraftKings Spread: -22.5
- DraftKings Moneyline: -10000
- DraftKings Over/Under: 128
Iowa State beat McNeese State by 77-40 last Sunday, and with that victory, it reached eight wins in 11 games so far this campaign. That news allows the Cyclones, who had lost to Iowa by 75-56, to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Big 12 Conference has several strong teams, but there are no longer any unbeaten teams. Iowa State has not been very productive on offense, but that has not stopped them from getting positive results. They need to focus on being consistent in order to climb some positions, because despite having the second-highest number of wins, they are in the sixth position of their conference.
JefeBet Prediction
The truth is that there is not much to look for in these teams: Iowa State is a more complete team than Western Michigan, and things are going their way this season. Everything is in their favor to emerge victorious in this match, since in addition to their virtues, they will be able to take advantage of a team that continues unable to find the compass to continue consolidating their good momentum.
Prediction: Iowa State Cyclones win by 20 points.
