Iowa State Hoping to Hang Around Big 12 Title Race

Going into this weekend in college football, the Iowa State Cyclones are trailing BYU and Colorado by one game in the race for the top-two spots in the Big 12. The Cyclones snapped a two-game losing streak last week by beating up on Cincinnati at home to keep themselves in the race for the conference title game. But the Cyclones offense will need to avoid any regression this week as they take on a Utah defense that is one of the best in college football despite the bad positions Utah's offense has put them in.

Utah Looking to Snap Six-Game Losing Streak

Utah has lost six games in a row coming into Saturday's action on the gridiron. After winning four straight games, injuries and ill-equipped replacements at the quarterback position have ruined the season for this team. Now, the Utes have to win two straight games against Iowa State and UCF to get to six wins and bowl eligibility. For that to take place, the Utes offense has to find ways to generate points, as they have gone seven straight games without reaching the 25 point mark.

Iowa State vs Utah Pick & Prediction

Utah's offense has given us no reason to believe that they can score enough to cover the spread in this Iowa State vs Utah matchup in the Big 12. Both teams have plenty to play for in this game, but only one of these teams has a respectable offense at this point in time. We will lay the points with Iowa State as they should get a game they sorely need as they look to remain in contention to win the Big 12 championship going into the final weekend of the regular season.
