Will Iowa cover the spread?

Way Too Early Iowa vs. Rutgers Predictions

SHI Stadium plays home to the Iowa Hawkeyes and Rutgers Scarlet Knights first Big 10 game of the year. Each team has three non-conference games under their slat

This is gonna get me chastised, but ISU is a good team and they’d beat the shit out of Rutgers. Iowa is going to win this one.

Indiana will likely be a different story. But…also remember how 2021 was “supposed” to go, when Indiana was “supposed” to be really good coming in. People can go on and on about how good or bad teams are, but with the cupcake games getting cupcakey-er for every team, we have zero idea how good any squad is until conference play starts. I’m going to be watching the Illinois/Indiana game pretty close this weekend.

Iowa is going to run into another decent defense. Not UMass and will prob look pretty underwhelming on offense with challenges in the passing game. We will all be back where after we were after the Iowa State game. Hope not, but would not surprise me.

I think the Hawks will handle them, and by handle I mean 17-10. Indiana is going to be the first real one.

Agree on Indiana. That is the bar setter going forward now that Gronk is 4 games in.
