Iowa State at BYU Betting Tips – Cougars To Record Friday College Football Cover
BYU are tipped to cover a double-digit spread against Iowa State, leaning on their strong run game and home-field advantage. The Cougars boast a 4-0 record, having covered the spread in each outing this season. Iowa State improved to 3-2 after a close win over West Virginia, but their offense has struggled on the road, averaging just 15 points per game. With BYU's defense matching up well against the Cyclones, the Cougars are favored to continue their perfect start and cover the spread.

Iowa State Improved To 3-2 Last Weekend
Iowa State head to Brigham Young looking to build on last week’s victory and record back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
The Cyclones made a winning start to the campaign as they downed Southeast Missouri State 38-10.
They failed to follow that up a week later though, although they defied pre-game expectations in a narrow 16-13 defeat at rivals Iowa.
Iowa State rebounded with a 55-7 blowout of Bowling Green, only to then fall 31-17 at home to Utah a week later.
The Cyclones did avoid back-to-back defeats though, as they edged West Virginia 45-42 last weekend to improve to 3-2.
BYU Boast Perfect 4-0 Record
BYU enter this matchup having won their first two Big 12 matchups to take their overall record to 4-0.
The Cougars kicked off the campaign with a blowout victory over Utah Tech, beating their overmatched opponent 63-7.
They faced more of a challenge in their Big 12 opener, but they enjoyed a successful start to their conference schedule as they beat Arizona 28-17.
BYU returned to non-conference action a week later and improved to 3-0 with a 41-23 victory at Colorado State.
The Cougars then made it four-in-a-row last time out as they went out on the road to down TCU, 17-10.
Verdict
Iowa State’s offense is coming off an historic display, but they face a much tougher defense and a much more challenging environment here.
BYU are off to a good start and have covered in all four games so far, so we are siding with the Cougars in this one.
