Iowa State gave up the first points last Saturday, but they didn't let that get them down. They came out on top against Oklahoma State by a score of 34-27.
Rocco Becht continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, throwing for 348 yards and three touchdowns. That's the first time this season that Becht passed for three passing touchdowns.

Not only did both teams in this Saturday's match win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread.

They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last four times they've played Iowa State.
