Using trends to handicap? Hope thats not your only reason. Following trends is a major square.

Minnesota is an improving team for sure.

Just went into Illini and beat em. Took them at PK

ya looks good....but i hate taking big 10 road teams...i thought michigan would be able to beat iowa a few weeks back at iowa too....even though iowa was starting to improve a little.....and they came out and shot like garbage....i thought illinois could get a win at penn st too....penn st sucks....didnt happen...big 10 road teams do win in these types of games...i just always seem to pick the wrong ones

HoulihansTX · 02-01-12, 12:25 PM

Every Big 10 home team has an advantage. The fans show up no matter how pathetic the team is i.e. Penn St.

AL1322 · 02-01-12, 12:27 PM

agreed thats y im on iowa

ChalkyDog · 02-01-12, 12:50 PM

No I use other things to handicap. I just thought that was an interesting trend.

Yup by 2 at Minny earlier in Jan.

Iowa is a much better team at home. Same situation as the k state game u played last night. I would go with Iowa here or stay away. Good luck, but I think Iowa wins.

BIGDAY · 02-01-12, 01:20 PM

Minny was able to put away a team that Michigan State couln't last night in Illini. MN has been good on the road for the most part.

Usually last 3 games has some meaning

These low lined games are guesses

Mich st also had their leader and teams heart and soul go out with injury. Capping based on theories like this are not sound bigday. Iowa is an entire different animal at home. If they are making shots they will win this game.

That was in Minnesota.

Hawkeye2011 · 02-01-12, 02:45 PM

I am a huge Hawks fan....but even I say Minnesota is a guaranteed lock at -1. Iowa had a decent stretch earlier but has played like complete garbage the last two weeks. I would take Minny by 7-8 tonight

Sorry.

I like MN's chances tonight to revenge their loss. GL

comala57 · 02-01-12, 02:56 PM

Iowa has lost 5 of the last 6 games since beating Minn by two. My gut says Minn gets a little redemption since they are a better team as a total. Small line so I am laying a .5 unit on it tonight.

blackeyeshamus · 02-01-12, 03:17 PM

Went 0-3 yesterday, so I am ice cold, straight fade material (disclaimer), and I'm betting IOWA +1 and IOWA ML. Yeah, I just reloaded... love the Hawkeyes at home! Better than their record indicates, IMHO- minny is overvalued! Then again, I couldn't pick up a hooker with a handful of hundreds right now...

Also why Minny is the right side.

I have seen almost every single Minnesota game this year, and about half of Iowa's, sad I know. Right now, it is looking like the Minnesota backup center may not play(Eliason), and Sampson has been complete trash lately. Their interior defense will suffer greatly if Eliason can't play and if Sampson doesn't wake the "bleep" up. That being said, this Minnesota team matches up well against Iowa. Their first game this year Minnesota played like a junior high school team and slept through the game, almost won, but credit to Iowa they handed Minnesota the loss. The key is Sampson, if he plays big this game will be a W for Minnesota, probably not that close either. What people overlook is the change Minnesota has made with its offensive attack, they inserted the freshman Coleman into the starting line up and he gets to the rim. It has become contagious throughout the remainder of the guards. Bottom line, Iowa hasn't played any defense lately and that is the one thing Minnesota does really well. Iowa has made strides and has some really nice W's this year , I don't anticipate tonight being one of them. GL to all, I will be on Minnesota.

HoulihansTX · 02-01-12, 03:46 PM

Sampson is not a competitor, and you do not know if he is playing unless he fouls someone.

No coincidences · 02-01-12, 03:49 PM

Defense has been optional for Iowa lately.

Yea man that game last nite got away in the last seconds. I knew when i was counting it as a winner that it was still too early to do that. But you always wanna think you have a game won. Or at least i do.

DennisT · 02-01-12, 05:27 PM

Lang is on Iowa so Minn. probably the play.

Dom177 · 02-01-12, 06:17 PM

This thread has made made up my mind for me to get Minnesota..hope the sbr gods agree tonight.

Iowa also gave up 48 points to Nebraska in the 2H the last time they were at home.
