Iowa state vs miami-FL Picks – Pop-Tarts Bowl
The Cyclones have played in the Pop-Tarts Bowl twice since 2019, going 0-2 SU and ATS. Similarly, the Hurricanes haven't won a bowl game since 2016. Not exactly what we want to see. But, Mario Cristobal has a very obvious edge as his Heisman finalist, starting quarterback will be on the field leading his team. Miami has only been favorites of 4-points or fewer twice this season, covering on both occasions with ease.
Iowa State was brutally embarrassed in Big 12 Championship, falling 45-19 to Arizona State. The Cyclones couldn't stop Cam Skattebo's ground attack and now they're up against a lethal passing game. At least Iowa State is the fifth-ranked passing defense, but based on its schedule, it has never faced a signal-caller like Cam Ward.
Travel is easier for Miami and its team is intact while getting a massive boost with Cam Ward sticking by their side. The favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last eight Pop-Tarts Bowls, the single exception was Florida's lone double-digit spread in 2022.
