The Wildcats are 11-2 ATS at home since 2008 but just 1-5 ATS coming off two-straight wins over the last three seasons.

Look for this game to be low scoring as Iowa has a stout defense and Arizona has the speed on its defense to pose problems for a mediocre Iowa offense. The Hawkeyes will look to control the game with its size and strength and ultimately will grind out the win behind Adam Robinson.
