    Why is Iowa only -3?
    They're at home, they're by all accounts a solid team, and they're hosting a team with a newly installed offense that is far from clicking. I look at this as more -7, I would highly suggest this bet.

    Not sold on Iowa...especially after getting beat by state. I do think they come back and win today though

              ML is dropping too.

              I'm on Iowa, but not feeling that great about it.

                Both teams play close games, gotta take the solid home team.

                    Backdoor cover is a possibility. Iowa's D has been awful at closing since last season. For those interested,my writeup is here

                      Iowa defense is not as good as past years and Pitt can score. Players on Pitt offense SHOULD be more suitable to new style, let's see if they are finally on same page.

                        Question mark on how well Iowa can stuff the run - if they could, I'd love the -3.

                          Iowa typically struggles against a spread.

                          They're slow defensively, too.

                          With that being said, I'm still taking the Hawks.

                                          You're a BIG 10 guy right? I thought Iowa was gonna be a sleeper team in the conference this year but obviously I was considerably off.
