According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Iowa is favored heavily at home, as the Hawkeyes are getting odds of -20.5 points against the Golden Gophers. The over/under total for the contest has been set at 147 points.

Iowa is 19-5 on the season, 10-2 in the Big Ten, 12-0 at home and 13-8 against the spread. Minnesota is 6-18 overall, 0-12 in the Big Ten, 0-6 on the road and 7-15 against the spread. The road team has won and covered the spread in the last two games of this series and these two have hit the over in three of their last four encounters.

Iowa is coming off an emotional loss to Indiana on the road. It's tough to get up for a home game against a winless Minnesota team. But that Minnesota has been competitive on the road, losing to Indiana by just six and Michigan by just five on the road. Minnesota has lost seven of their league games by eight points or fewer. Expect Iowa to get the win, but they'll be flat and won't cover.
