Who will win the 2025 Aer Lingus College Football Classic?

The 2025 Aer Lingus College Football Classic will feature a heated Big 12 rivalry as the Kansas State Wildcats face the Iowa State Cyclones on August 23 at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium. Known as "Farmageddon," this rivalry dates back to 1917, with Iowa State currently holding a narrow all-time lead. Kansas State enters as the betting favorite by 3.5 points, bolstered by strong preseason rankings and expectations for quarterback Avery Johnson. However, Iowa State is coming off a historic 11–3 season, including a bowl win and a regular season victory over Kansas State in 2024. Analysts are split, with some recommending Iowa State to cover the spread due to recent form and consistency. The game will kick off the college football season on international soil, and fans on both sides are expecting a thrilling, closely contested matchup.
