This is a revenge spot for Iowa State who are off a road win and at home for homecoming. They host Kansas whom they lost to last season 14-11 in Lawrence. Other than that game, Iowa State has won the last seven games and owns this series. The difference between the Cyclones and this Jayhawks team is defense. This young Cyclones team have the better defense and Lawrence is tough to play at, especially at night. This is a letdown spot for Kansas who defeated a top 10 school in Oklahoma last week. Take the Cyclones who are clicking on all cylinders right now.

Best bet: take Iowa State at a pickem, like it up to -3.
