I also saw that DraftKings had Iowa State as a 5.5-point favorite, which, you know, is still a pretty confident prediction in their favor.

Diving Deeper into the Stats
I'm not just about surface-level stuff, so I started comparing the teams' performances, looking at how they've been playing, and trying to get a sense of their strengths and weaknesses. I looked at things like their recent scores, how they did against other teams, and any patterns that might give me a clue about how this game would go.
Lastly, I put all this information together to make my own prediction. It wasn't just a random guess; I really tried to base it on what I had found out. Considering Iowa State's strong showing and the betting trends, I leaned towards them winning. But, you know, in sports, anything can happen, so I was also prepared for a surprise.
It was a fun little project, trying to predict the outcome of this game.

It's always interesting to see how these things play out in real life compared to what the numbers and trends suggest.
