How to Bet Iowa State vs Miami Game
The Pop-Tarts Bowl Is Super Weird and We’re Here for It
Sure, every team wants to win the natty, but have you ever won the Pop-Tarts Bowl? This #content team have leaned into the weirdness of bowl SZN, which includes having the only edible (to my knowledge) trophy for the winner. A second trophy now includes a toaster that works.

Outside of the craziness of players biting off the heads of the Pop-Tarts mascots, these two teams are solid and were both in contention to make the College Football Playoff heading into the final week of the season.
BREAKING: The @PopTartsBowl will have 3 (!) mascots this year: Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae, Frosted Wild Berry & mystery flavor that’s coming back from the vault 👀
Only one mascot will “achieve the ultimate pastry dream of being eaten by the winning team.” Game MVP picks flavor! pic.twitter.com/Kkhuax7efs

Miami QB Cam Ward Expected to Play vs Iowa State
It looks like we will get one more college football game with star quarterback Cam Ward. The playmaker is a major reason why Miami was in contention to win the ACC this season and will be a popular option in player prop picks.

Yet, this is also the same Hurricanes team that seemed to almost lose about 15 games this season. In the end, it was taking the L against Syracuse that cost Miami a spot in the ACC championship.
The good news is that Ward has already revealed his plans to play against Iowa State before entering the NFL Draft. Ward is +150 in NFL futures odds to be drafted No. 1 overall.

Which Iowa State Team Will Show Up vs Miami?
Iowa State had a red-hot start at 7-0, but finished the season 3-3 in their final six games. I think Arizona State is still scoring touchdowns on Iowa State’s defense in the Big 12 title game.
The Sun Devils trucked the Cyclones 45-19 in Jerry’s World. Arizona State was somehow an underdog in the NCAA football odds for the matchup. Iowa State had some notable wins, including victories versus Kansas State and Iowa.
Iowa State vs Miami Pick: Bet on Cam Ward’s Canes to Cover ATS
Look, all this is headed toward Cam Ward leading Miami to victory and eating the Pop-Tarts mascot. Iowa State struggled to slow down Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo.
Ward’s running style is more shifty than punishing, but I still think the Cyclones are going to struggle in slowing down the playmaker. Bet online on Miami to cruise to victory and cover ATS versus Iowa State.
Bet On This PICK: Miami at -3½ ATS
