Northwestern at Iowa

The Wildcats won the Big-10 Title a year ago, and they are still a quality team. They have fallen out of public favor after losing three straight games. But remember, those losses came to teams that are a combined 19-4. This is still a quality team that had a tough three weeks in terms of scheduling, and they are getting a bump in the line here because of it. Iowa is going to need a big effort from their defense as the Cats like to spread things out and wear their opponents down. Northwestern has excelled on field turf, covering six of their last seven. A red flag for Iowa is they are allowing 200+ on the ground as they have followed their last five after having done so with an 0-5 ATS mark. The Cats have taken four of their last five, and they are itching to break out vs. an opponent they can handle. Play on Northwestern.
