Gotta go with my Hawks, but think the horsemen could hang in there the first half: 31-17 Iowa

Horsemen? I forgot for a brief moment their nickname is the Scarlet Knights. Shows you how much I pay attention to Rutgers in anything.:)
 
Iowa 70, Bad Guys 2. Bad Guys will score on a mercy safety at the end of the game after our 3rd string safety picks off Rutgers at the 1 and Mansell takes a knee in the endzone.

Iowa wins, Rutgers covers

That's my lean also. I can see the cover being super tight. 17? Or maybe they cover at 21?
I love my Hawks, but giving up 3 TD's in conference play (I don't care who it's against) just doesn't trip my trigger.
I'm not saying they can't cover, they have put up big numbers before, so absolutely they can. It's just one of those lines where I don't like the line and I won't bet against the Hawks.
 
A lot of big covers by Iowa recently (covered 6 of their last 8 spreads of 7+). Then again, maybe Vegas is factoring that into the #.

If Iowa were to lose this game I think it'll be less scoring than this. Something like 13-10 and the announcers talk about how this is classic Iowa-Big10 football!

Rest of the big10 games (minus NW) score 80+ points

Isn't KF record pretty bad when Iowa is favored by double digits???

I think Iowa wears them down by the second half. 28-14

The combines ain't out yet, are they? It's against the laws of the universe for them to call a game classic Iowa football without showing a combine scene coming out of commercial breaks.
