South Dakota State at Iowa

Iowa started off with five straight wins this season, but then dropped back-to-back games vs. Wichita State and Virginia Tech. They are coming off an easy win over Texas A&M Corpus Christie. This line + total is telling us that the oddsmakers predict a final score of about 87-68. Will Iowa score that much here? The Hawkeyes have been scoring a lot vs. their very weak competition (76.5 points per game in unlined games) but vs. decent teams (Va. Tech, Wichita State, W. Kentucky, C. Michigan), they are averaging just 69 points per game. South Dakota is no powerhouse, but they should be able to keep Iowa in the 70s or at least the low 80s. If that happens, then this game should stay UNDER this very lofty total. In his coaching career, Fran McCaffery is 30-15 to the UNDER as a double-digit favorite. Take the UNDER here.
