    Obviously the Hawkeyes and Bears are the better teams in this equation, but should they really be double-digit favorites? Seems ridiculously inflated to me.

    Long Beach is not nearly the team they were and Indiana State faltered late in the season... Indiana State was a tourney team on the Feb 1 but blew it the entire month... I still think they will give Iowa a very tough game and yes +12 is too much in my estimation..

      I thought these were reverse traps on taking the dogs but I agree.

      LBSU plays a tough schedule all year and is led by upper classmen. If not a close game I don't see how a backdoor cover isn't possible here.
      I am also baffled on Iowa, it seems they get a bigger than normal boost at home, but perhaps the over as there is no way Iowa covers in a slower paced game that Indi State wants.
