1. Iowa State scores at least 50

Is this crazy? Probably, but I truly believe Kansas is the worst team in the Power Five and that’s only going to be proven in Week 9.

Iowa State hasn’t scored over 40 points in a single game this season and the line for this one is 27 points in favor of the Cyclones. If you do the math, if Iowa State covers that spread, there’s a good chance that it will need to score 50. And I think Iowa State covers, and then some.

Brock Purdy and Breece Hall are both about to have monster games against one of the worst defenses in the nation.

Kansas allows about 438 total yards and 45 points per game and Iowa State has just as much firepower as anyone the Jayhawks have faced this season. If Baylor and Kansas State can each score over 45 points against Kansas, so can Iowa State.

I say the Cyclones win this one 52-17.
