Cyclones 2024 Schedule & Betting Odds
Iowa State Cyclones 2024 Season Preview
The Iowa State Cyclones football team enters the 2024 with a renewed outlook. They made a big jump in 2023 going 7-6 after finishing 4-8 in 2022. However, Iowa State appears primed to make more strides in 2024 with a conference title in their sights.
The Cylones offense will be led by Rocco Brecht. Brecht flourished down the stretch in 2023. He finished the last four games of the season with a 10 to 1 touchdown to interception rate. However, Brecht will not be a one-man show this sesaon as Abu Sama, the team's leading rusher is back, and their wide receiver duo on the outside has the chance to earn All-Big 12 honors.
On the defensive end, the Iowa State Cyclones were the second-best defensive team in the Big 12 last year, but with Texas gone, the Cyclones are now primed to take the top spot. The defense is loaded with experience at all three levels, but their front seven will be a formidable unit.
Iowa State is legit contender for the Big 12 title this year, and they have value in the market with odds of +950.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones
Iowa State Cyclones Point Spreads
Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. The Cyclones went 4-7-1 against the spread in 2022, making them a pretty unreliable wager. Here’s an example:
- Iowa State -2.5 (-110)
- Texas +2.5 (-110)
In this situation, Iowa State is favored by 2.5 points against Texas. If the Cyclones win the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on Iowa State would come with a payout of $90.91. If the Longhorns won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Iowa State Cyclones Moneylines
Iowa State finished a game above .500, offering little value to Cyclones moneyline betters. The only thing to do here is pick the winner. Check out this example:
- Iowa State -160
- Oklahoma +180
The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Iowa State the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $10 or $100 increments. A wager on the Cyclones odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here the Oklahoma moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.
Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on Iowa State’s moneyline and a -2.5 point spread, ISU would need to win by three points for that bet to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds. Use our Odds Calculator to calculate any bet amount or conversion.

Iowa State Cyclones Over/Unders
Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:
Let's say Iowa State plays Oklahoma State and the over/under is set at 70 points. A wager on the over would require the Cyclones and Cowboys to score 71 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 69 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 70 points scored.
Iowa State hit the over in only 25% of their games in 2022 due to their historically bad offense.

Iowa State Cyclones Props
Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out an example below:
- Rocco Brecht pass yards: 2,500
