Miami Ohio at Iowa State

Ah, the Big 12 North, by far the worst division in major college football this season. It will rear its ugly head once again this bowl season, as Colorado and Iowa State play mid major teams that can, and probably will, beat them outright. The oddsmakers got this one right but MOH should be favored more heavily here. Miami has a very dangerous offense that will give the Cyc's defense fits. ISU has been good against the run but has not played a QB as talented as Josh Betts in some time. ISU is 0-9 ATS vs. good passing teams averaging 8 or more passing yards/att. over the last 3 seasons. In those games, the Cyclones got hammered by an average score of 10 to 43! Iowa State is also 2-9 ATS in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 3 seasons. The Cyclones did improve this past season, but they do not have the offensive horses to keep up with the Redskins here. ISU is outclassed. Four stars on Miami of Ohio to cover this one.
