DePaul Unable To Compete Against Iowa State: Betting on Iowa State Recommended

Currently, DePaul is not a team worth betting on due to their poor performance during the season. They opened with a loss to IPFW as 11.5-point favorites and followed up with a 3.5-point loss to Northern Illinois. While the new pieces have yet to mesh, Iowa State has already established their identity with players such as Gilbert (slashing wing), Momcilovic (outside shooter), and Lipsey (who excels in all categories). DePaul is unable to compete against Iowa State due to their 220th ranking in efficiency, and Iowa State's 6th rank in defense. It is hard to find a bigger mismatch than this. Therefore, betting on Iowa State to cover can be recommended.
