Iowa at Penn State

Iowa has won the last five games in this series and it's now payback time for Penn State. Both teams are bottom-dwelling in the Big 10. Which team has it worse? Iowa who got hammered last game at home 38-20 by Indiana (were down 21-0 at one point) as a double digit favorite. They have absolutely no offense. After a couple of cupcake games, they have faced Iowa State, Wisconsin and Indiana. In those games, they are averaging 15.3 points per game. In their three road games they are averaging 281 total yards and 14 ppg. Penn State is 3-0 at home averaging 45 points per game. Iowa is 2-12 ATS the past three seasons following a home game. Under Paterno, the Nittany Lions are 14-5 ATS at home following a conference road-loss and 24-14 ATS off two straight ATS losses. We like Penn State to open it up against a defenseless Hawkeyes team.
