Iowa at Northern Iowa

This will be an intensely played game as the Panthers’ annual clashes with Iowa State and Iowa usually are. I respect the Panthers’ talent and they certainly could win the MVC, but playing in a BCS Conference is never easy regardless of the talent because there is usually enough to stay in the game. Last year Iowa tore this team apart while the Panthers also lost to Iowa State. This year they slipped past Iowa State, but by just three points, and I don't see them taking a Hawkeyes team out by double-digits here. The Panthers are 0-4 ATS as a home favorite in this range and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 out-of-conference tilts. The dog has prevailed in this series in six of the last eight, so I'll go with Iowa in this one.
