Iowa -16.5 vs. Northwestern

[hawkstats1979]

Seems a bit high to me, but I haven't watched much of NW this year, so I'm not entirely sure how bad they really are.

I'll take Iowa.

Michigan just beat them by 23 at home. I think we cover fairly easy.

High? I'll be very worried if we win by less than 20. NW is awful, we are supposedly very good. Time to prove both of those things are true.

 

[Zamboni08]

I watched them play Wisky....holy crap. Their shooting is horrendous - behind the arc, under the hoop - just woof....

 

[hawkforlife9]

Seems low to me.

I expect a 20 - 25 point cushion for most of the game. When Speraw clears the bench the final margin will probably end up around 15 or so.

I predict hawks by 25 in first half, holding on to win by 2.

 

[MeatMan]

that's a pretty big number though. good thing i don't bet sports. but, i'll put all my viesels down on jNW to cover.

Oh please no.
I think the Hawks can cover.

This will be a 35 point whipping leading to false hope on Sunday. Iowa should have no trouble in this game and will be looking to take out their frustration on the helpless mildcats.

 

[HawksMN]

Ya know, Iowa still owes a whoopin to the cats for those losses a few years back, to ol pimple man et al.

Iowa wins by 35 at home....(as others have said)...stoking false hope.
We then lose by 5 @ OSU.

Rinse, repeat for 2013-2014.

If beating bad teams by 30 and losing to top 5 teams on the road by 5 is the norm, I'll take it all day. Nobody is going to win many games in Madison, East Lansing, or Columbus. We just need to win the home ones, and beat the bad/avg teams on the road.

Looks like the line moved to -17.5, I'll still take the Hawks.

Just curious... how high you willing to go?

Not that it will but I would probably even bet them at 19.. but I wouldn't do 20.

 

[djwoody98]

I'm betting Fran's fine that Iowa will beat the living hell out of jNW tonight.

I was actually thinking Iowa -19 too. I think we play well tonight and it's never close after the first 10 min.

 

[hawkforlife9]

That's easy money. We'll beat them by 30. We're by far the best 3 loss team.

Correct. Big Ten officials will see to that.

Iowa should cover that margin, by the way.
