    Iowa vs. Syracuse
    Iowa vs. Syracuse

    Syracuse is 6-9-1 SU but 11-5 ATS vs the Big 10 at home. Syracuse is 9-15 ATS in home openers and while its crowds have been shrinking, Iowa figures to travel well here and is 7-3-1 ATS on art turf.

    Iowa is a good bully with an outstanding 17-2 ATS mark as a DD fav.

    Syr is in the 2nd year of their switch from run offense to the West Coast and we only rate them #107 to Iowa’s #34. LW SU lost to WF 20-10 only managing 136 yds (QB Patterson hit 5-18 for 45 yds) while allowing 245 yds on the ground.

    Iowa rolled over IAA Montana 41-7 with 22-11 FD & 416-144 yd edges. Iowa has large edges on the offensive and defensive lines and also has QB Tate (PS#18) and RB Young (PS#14).

    Syr has just 4 starters back on a D that we rate #72 vs Iowa’s #30 and Iowa also has a large edge on ST’s (#7-70). We are well aware Iowa does have rival Cyclones on deck, who embarrassed them 23-3 LY with Iowa as a 9 pt fav.

    Game Time: 9/14/2006 2:30:00 PM

    don't like laying road chalk this heavy usually (especially against Syracuse at the dome), but Syracuse is hard to back here until they get better QB play...
