STAFF PICKS: Iowa State at West Virginia

[ChrisMWilliams]

Our staff is on the record here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/10/staff-picks-west-virginia-mountaineers-2/

What are your picks?

I'm at 35-17 Clones.

 

[bozclone]

I think the Cyclones gained a lot of confidence last week. 42-17 Cyclones.

 

[flander1649]

I think this week ISU finally gets some long runs from the RB's. I think similar score to last week 49-23.

 

[Cycsk]

Interesting what they have done to bowl in both endzones of the "Jack Trice Stadium Blueprint."

Same small press box.

 

[IASTATE07]

I hope you guys are right, but I'm probably not picking us to win a road game by 3+ touchdowns.

 

[BoxsterCy]

It's on Field Turf and not natural grass so I am assuming we will score 100 points and win going away after the 1st quarter.

Am I doing it right?

 

[CoKane]

31-13 ISU

At least it's guaranteed that no one will slip.

 

[norcalcy]

Tough place to play against a good coach and a scrappy team. A stressful 31-27 Cyclone win. All victories are sweet, Big 12 road victories against historically good programs are especially sweet for this program.

 

[kcbob79clone]

Toughest road trip of the year, small margins

ISU 24 WVU 21

 

[tim_redd]

Nothing bad ever happens when everyone picks Iowa State to win by double digits.

 

[CyclonePower44]

ISU wins 28-21. I think this is going to be a tough test. WVU has improved a lot from week to week. Obviously we have too. I think we're the better team. I'm not impressed with the WVU QB. I think we can get him to commit some turnovers. I just hope we have a consistent running game this week. Let's just get the W and get out of Morgantown!

 

[cyclones500]

Among the staff picks, @brentblum is closest to my guess.

This is a probably-should-win game, that makes me fidgety as a Cyclones fan.

 

[NickTheGreat]

I don't think it'll be like last week, but I could see a 38 - 21 type of W.

I could also see a 21-17 type of W.

 

[madguy30]

Feels like it could go either way like Baylor or ISU wins going away.

I don't see a blowout in favor of WV.

 

[tolfbfan]

My prediction!

 

[inCyteful]

I think our D gives them fits and scores at least once.
Offense has a meh day largely cuz that is all they need.

31-20 ISU with a late WVU score making it look closer than it is.

Have any of the CF staff not picked ISU to win this year?

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Have any of the CF staff not picked ISU to win this year?

A few picked TCU to win last week.

Not to derail but theirs fits the stadium better. Never been there but it looks to be 2 stories and a bit wider. It isn’t really that ours is to small it’s just disproportionally tall.
