Iowa opens as road favorite for Cy-Hawk matchup vs. Iowa State
Iowa enters the Week 2 matchup as a road favorite in the rivalry series.

O/U = 35.5
Indeed! Thinking BriFer would like that as well!I’m hoping for a 2016 redux.
Doesn't the home team usually get spotted a -3 advantage? So, if was in Iowa City, would Iowa be at -7?Iowa controlled the game in an uninspiring fashion against a bad team. ISU did slightly better than expected against a good 1AA school that sometimes gives them fits. The game is in Ames. Basically, Vegas is saying it is a pick em. If I was betting, I would bet on Iowa if Cade is healthyish.
UNI went 6-5 last year, 6-6 the year before. This isn't the UNI playoff type squad they used to be. Unless we turn the ball over this should be a double digit W.Iowa controlled the game in an uninspiring fashion against a bad team.

It was.I still say last year, if my memory serves me correctly, we got screwed out of a TD against the clowns....I think they called a fumble on the goal-line....I still feel that was a TD. Then I remember the monsoon rain-storm and missing the improbable comeback FG.
Yeah, the scoreboard doesn’t tell the full story, and UNI isn’t good. Would you believe me if I told ISU put up less total offense than Iowa week 1? Now, is week 1 performance indicative of either of these team’s potential? No. But if we are going to make comparisons, Iowa State was better on the ground week 1, and Iowa was better through the air, and if you want one or the other in this game, I think you have to take the passing game.Iowa controlled the game in an uninspiring fashion against a bad team.

the line is Iowa -4 in Ames. So that would be Iowa -7 on a neutral site and Iowa -10 in Iowa City. Iowa might get 3.5 at home because of Iowa's abnormal home and away splits.Doesn't the home team usually get spotted a -3 advantage? So, if was in Iowa City, would Iowa be at -7?
