Iowa State Cyclones vs. Ohio Bobcats Odds, Line, Picks, and Prediction - September 17 | 2022 NCAA Football Season

The Iowa State Cyclones take on the Ohio Bobcats at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday. The two sides facing each other have each played two games so far and have had differing results in said games.

The Cyclones have won both of their opening games this season, against the Iowa Hawkeyes (10-7) and the SEMO State Redhawks (42-10). The Bobcats have won one and lost one so far this season.

They won their opening game of the season against the Florida Atlantic Owls (41-38) and lost against the 22nd-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions (46-10). The Cyclones finished 4th in the Big-12 standings last season with a respectable record of 7-6 overall.

However, they did have a sublime home record last term, winning five of the six games they played at the Jack Trice Stadium. This is a major win condition for the Cyclones as they come into today's home game with massive confidence.

"SOON..." -Cyclones

The Bobcats were poor last season, winning only 3 games. Their overall record was 3-9 last time, and they haven't started this season any better either. Their win in the first game of the season was a nail-biting affair, ending 41-38, whereas in their loss against the Nittany Lions, they were battered 46-10.

Playing away from home wasn't a strong suit for the Bobcats last campaign as they went 2-4 and coming into this away fixture isn't going to turn their fortunes around either, considering how strong their opponents have been at home.

Final Prediction:

The Cyclones have had a strong start to the season and their main men have started the season off very well. The same can’t be said about the Bobcats, as they have two completely contrasting results and they looked flat against the Nittany Lions. The Cyclones should win this one.
