    Future bet - Iowa over 7.5 games

    I usually don't like having my money held up for 4 months but this seems way off. I don't see how Iowa can't cover this win total. Talk me off the ledge? I know Iowa is only returning 10 starters and have a new starting QB but Ferentz always does more with less. This schedule is very easy... No OSU or Wisconsin.

    I really don't see a game that they can't win. I bolded all the games that I think they will win which is at least 8 and theirs 3 games in red that may be a coin flip. Nebraska is the one game I'd have them as a dog.

    $1,200 to win $1,000
    -120 locked and loaded. Hope it turns out better than keeping my money in my savings account

    I also don't like having my money held for months on futures bet but I agree this total may be off by 1 or 2

    My boys tend to let people hang around ,Play down to their opponents, Ferentz can't control the clock...7-5 wouldn't suprise me a bit.

    1 down 7 to go.

    Iowa should be a solid 9-3 this year. I think they will go 10-2

    I liked this, but couldn't get better than -135. -120 is decent, but I think it closed like +110 at some books

    I had their schedule at

    Tennessee Tech / -30+ / ~99%
    @Iowa State / -7.5 / 72.98%
    PITT / -7 / 70.34%
    Louisiana-Monroe / -21 / ~95%
    @PSU / +4.5 / 36.86%
    NW / -4.5 / 63.42%
    Indiana / -14 / 85.14%
    @MINN / -9.5 / 75.47%
    MICH / -4.5 / 63.14%
    MSU / -3 / 57.44%
    @Purude / -7 / 70.34%
    @Nebraska / +7.5% / 27.02%

    comes out to 8.12 wins

    really great bet I think with +even but -135 was horrible. watch it win easy

    Sunde - were those the vegas odds for each game beginning of the season or your numbers? Good stuff.

    I was hoping to get closer to +even but with the B10 being down this year as well, it looks to be a solid bet. I'm not sold on MSU or Purdue. Michigan still has holes and NWU, Indiana, should be easy W's. Ferentz can out coach joepa which should probably be a coin toss and I'm not quite sold on Nebraska. Plus Nebraska will be playing at PSU then at Michigan then a 6 day turnaround to then play Iowa, while Iowa maybe resting starters when playing Purdon't LOL

    Out of all the futures bet's, this one jumped off the board and I dislike most futures.
