Predict the Vegas spread for the Iowa/ISU game

Give Iowa 3 for home field. Note that the last five Iowa-ISU games in Kinnick had an average margin of Iowa by 8.4 points. Recognize that ISU probably looked better today.

I will say Iowa -3.5 is a decent spread.

Kinnick is considered a 6 point stadium by most books. For those interested Jack Trice is a 5 point stadium. That being said I would imagine Iowa will be favored by 1.5. That way plenty of action will come in on both sides.
 
Iowa will be favored by more than a touchdown.

I'm certainly no Vegas spread expert' but I would be shocked if the opening line was more than a touchdown, and if it were to be that high, I would expect it to move down quickly.
 
Preseason Spreads were released in Late July for the Top Games of the year and Rivalries- it had Iowa at -8. I think that sounds about right.

All things considered, I expect it to be closer to -6/-6.5 by kickoff. Iowa is usually pretty good in home openers- rivalry or not. Look for that Sharp money to come in if it drops below the hard number of 7.

I personally see 23-13 as the score; advantage Iowa.
