Key Sports Betting Insights:

Iowa State Football:

  • The Cyclones are set to face Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl with Iowa State ranked 18th. With a strong offense led by sophomore QB Rocco Beck and a talented group of running backs and wide receivers, Iowa State will be challenged by Miami's offense and Heisman finalist Cam Ward. O'Hara predicts a high-scoring game and recommends betting the over 57 points total.

Iowa Football:

  • The Hawkeyes are playing Missouri in the Music City Bowl. While Iowa is ranked 19th, they’ll face a tough Missouri team that has lost star receiver Luther Burden III. O'Hara suggests betting the over 40 points, given both teams' offensive capabilities.

Iowa State and Iowa Basketball:

  • Iowa State's men's basketball team is ranked in the top 3, with standout players like Jaren Holmes and Osun Osunniyi. They’ll face Colorado in their next game, after a dominant win over them in a Thanksgiving Tournament.

  • Iowa men's basketball, with a record of 10-3, has a solid offense but struggles defensively. They’ll play New Hampshire, and O'Hara recommends betting the over due to the Hawkeyes' high-scoring nature.

Paul Stone's Picks:

  • Iowa State +3.5

  • Arizona State +13.5
