BONUS BETS
While premium subscribers get access to all the prop bets that Joe Arpasi has identified, these “bonus bet” suggestions are free for everyone to review.
QB Mark Gronowski (Iowa) 28.5 Rushing Yards
Confidence - Above Average
Bet Suggestion - Over
Gronowski ran the ball 11 times in week one in combination with a patch-work running back core. The Iowa running backs still aren’t fully healthy and He will be needed once again to keep this ground game moving in his first competitive FBS start. Iowa could likely throw the ball more this week too, giving him more opportunities to gain rushing yards on scrambles.
RB Carson Hansen (IaSt) 55.5 Rushing Yards
Confidence - High
Bet Suggestion - Under
The Iowa defense is tough to run the ball against and they will make Hansen have to work hard for every yard. Iowa State tends to limit Hansen’s carries in the second and early third quarters in order to give him fresh legs later in the game. One issue might be that Iowa State will find themselves trailing in the fourth quarter and the game script will take the ball out of Hansen’s hands and into the passing game.
WR De’Zhaun Stribling (Miss) 44.5 Receiving Yards
Confidence - Above Average
Bet Suggestion - Under
Some people may see Stribling’s 3 receptions for 55 yards from week one and question this under bet. While watching this game I noticed that Stribling was getting a good chunk of his five targets in the second half after the starters were out of the game. I have a feeling that he is not considered a main player in this passing attack, but instead is a rotation piece.
