    Everyone Should Start Their Saturday With Iowa Hawkeyes +6.5 If You Want That Chedda!

    I think the Hawkeyes are going to give Wisconsin all they can handle in this B1G clash and have a very good shot at winning the game outright. I've never been of fan of Wisconsin quarterback Joel Stave and with Corey Clement out with injury, I think the Hawks actually have the better playmakers.

    C.J. Beathard is nice quarterback with a live arm and is a definite upgrade over Rudock from last year. RB Jordan Canzeri is shifty and fast, unlike the typical plodders at Iowa, and Tevaun Smith gives them a legit threat at wideout.

    Defensively, Iowa has held their ground against opponents' rushing attacks, allowing only 84 yards a game. Against Wisky, if you can at least slow the run, you give yourself a chance.

    Wisconsin has a stout defense in their own right, but outside of their opening game, they really haven't been faced with any sort of challenge... and they got throttled in that game by an Alabama team which isn't exactly the typical Bama juggernaut.

    I think these two teams match up very well and the oddsmakers are being a bit generous with the points, probably based on the Wisconsin "brand" and the perception that they are of a higher class. I like the overall moxie of this Iowa team, and, like I said, would not be surprised at all if they come out with the win.

    Iowa Hawkeyes +6.5 to the bank.

    Everyone and their brother is on Iowa. I'll agree that Iowa seems like the logical play, but this seems to be one of those "this looks too easy" games. I'm staying away.

    Go Badgers!

    I'm not sure what you mean by "everyone." Everyone in this thread, maybe? Because I can assure you the average joe isn't salivating over Iowa in this game, or any other. Wisconsin is still the more "public" team and they are currently being bet to the tune of 61%. I just happen to disagree with the Vegas line, and cited my reasons for that. I think it's as solid a play as there is today.

    there no way that true. most ppl i respect who know the game are on iowa but overall that very unlikely considering wiscy has a nice shiny number by their name and have been waxing crap teams while iowa playing tight gms vs teams nobody thinks much of.

    10-3; Iowa has also a missed fg and a turnover inside the redzone.

    Oh I didn't even realize they had a red zone turnover. My power went out this morning and didn't come back on til bout an hour after kickoff. I tuned in shortly after Iowa missed the FG. I'll take a 10-3 lead at the half all day. Hawks should win this.
