Has anyone seen a line yet for the game at Iowa at? I can't find one.
Here is an interesting factoid for you...in the last 25 ISU/Iowa games (15 straight Hawkeye wins, then 7/10 ISU wins)...Iowa has been favored at kick-off in EVERY GAME.
Even during our 5 game win streak we were never a favorite vs. Iowa. That goes to show you the respect level. I expect Iowa -9 to -11 point spread this weekend.
I'm expecting the spread to be at about -4.5 favoring Iowa. This is about as balanced as the teams have been on paper for years.Quote:

Spread is always too high. Easy money making betting on the Clones almost every year. FWIW, I believe we've covered 8 or 8 of the last 10 times we played Iowa.
Look for Iowa -7.5
Let's get a CyBookie event for the prediction of the line!
That would be surreal.:wink:
Its better to be under rated than over rated as Iowa has seen in the past few years. This year will be close, but Id rather go into the game as the under dog.
That's what I'm expecting...Quote:

It'll be out probably around 8-10 pm tonight.
I guess Iowa -7.5. I looked for a line, but did not see anything yet. We will get this one out there as soon as there is a real line.
That's what I'm hoping for. I'm looking for a pretty sweet money line...Quote:
