Iowa is Over 8 1/2 -110, which is about even money. Go under and it is the same -110. Iowa is a funny team. Ferentz is one of the most over-rated HC's in the nation. His team should go 10-0 going into the last games of the season, when they host both Wisconsin and Nebraska in a 6 day period. Iowa has had two 2 loss seasons under Ferentz, and gone 8-5 the next year every time. Last season they returned 6 starters on offense and 8 on defense, yet managed only an 8-5 season. This year the lines are the strongest point of both the offense and defense. With a very soft schedule one would think that Iowa is a lock for winning 9 games, but the linesmakers know Ferentz's history. Still, I think the over is a solid wager here.
