I'm riding Northwestern and Penn st till they start sliding if that even happens... Penn st with all the scandals have actually been a very solid team... And I love the way Northwesterns coach gets his team prepared to play every game hard and competitive !!! Northern Illinois and Ul monroe are also great teams to bet this year and if the team ul monroe plays has any O the over will hit almost everytime!!! Oklahoma should destroy Notre Dame, they won't score and Oklahoma will!!! Same with Texas A&m killing Auburn!!! La tech, Fresn st and Utah st are awesome teams to bet because of how bad thw WAC is.... Basically just fade Idaho, New mexico St, Hawaii, and Virginia all year and you should do well!!!

Big play on Northwestern for me. Iowa looked atrocious against Penn State last week, and Northwestern is a one point loss to Nebraska away from being perfect at home this season.

I like NU here. Iowa has a shit offense. So if/when they do get behind by a couple scores, I can't feel confident that they'll be able to get back in it, or backdoor cover.

Northwestern -6

Iowa's RB is palying hurt,hell he might be out altogether. Ths Hawkeye team is not scary as they used to be and i think NW at home will air it out on em and pull away in the 2nd half.

NW n da pts

The line opened at -6, with 70% of the public on the Cats the line has moved to -5.  

I take the better defense here and the points.

Iowa +5

Both teams need this win to stay in contention for any hopes to win the Big 10 champion title.  

Last week Iowa faced a 22nd ranked rushing defense which contained Iowa's best offensive player and held him to 9 yards.  Now they go into Northwestern who also has an excellent run defense ranking 29th in the nation.  Don't see it getting much better there.  They're gonna have to rely on their mediocre passing game but then again Northwestern's pass defense is also ranked right about the same level.

Let's flip to the other side of the ball.  Clearly Northwestern likes to run the ball and has the best RB in the Big 10 and ranked 12th nationally in rushing offense.  Last week Iowa got gashed big time all the way around in both run and pass offense.  Of course they'll regroup but they'll be hard pressed to stop the Wildcat's running game.  Iowa's pass defense is too much for Northwestern to handle so they'll stick to the ground instead.  

I like the fact that everyone is fading Northwestern and dropping the line in favor of the favorite here.  If it keeps going, I'll just wait right up to game time to take the hopefully lowest spread possible with NW.  

It's a big drop from -6.5 to 5 and there have been a bunch of games so far this year where the favorite has covered only after the line has plummeted.  GL to all the NW backers!

Congrats all NW backers.  They had control of the game right off the bat and never looked back.
