    Iowa +16 vs. Ohio St.

    Anyone else see value here? Ohio St. coming off huge emotional win traveling to Iowa City where the Hawkeyes usually play everyone tough. 16 seems high to me. I may jump on this one today, which is rare for me this early in the week.

    Iowa has no offense to speak of, and they are 1-4 ATS when hosting Ohio State. This game can go wither way, as far as the spread is concerned. If anything, the line seems to be leaning towards -17.

    Don't judge this game based on Iowa's almost win at home vs. Penn State. There's a lot of controversy surrounding who deserves to be in the #3 and #4 spot and Ohio State is going make every opportunity to send a message to the committee. Also don't base this off of Ohio State's 1 point win over Penn St. Ohio State's performance in that game (minus a few mishaps where they shot themselves in the foot) was stellar and the final score wasn't exactly reflective of the game.

    Normally, I would agree this is a trap game coming off an emotional win, but they played so horrible with the drops, penalties and special teams that I am laying the points. They know what they almost lost last week and definitely do not see a letdown.

    I liked Northwestern at first glance as well. But part of me feels this game seems trappy. Hmmmm.

    I liked espn.com at first. Until I learned the hard way that every word their writers write and every word their reporters speak is usually some of the biggest fades in sports

    Exactly correct.

    Also, Being in IA and being an IA fan, they're going to get crushed in this.

    Thanks. Yeah liked them initially, although most opinions on here tend to side with the Buckeyes. Iowa up to +18 now. Still trying to decide what to do here.

    I agree. Especially vs. Iowa who usually plays tough at home.

    Nebraska struggles with Northwestern. They have ZERO run game. Will need to throw 75% to have a chance. Coaching staff fired in 4 weeks. Not sure where the motivation comes from here.
