This Iowa Trend Makes Perfect Sense
Under Kirk Ferentz, Iowa has gone 50-23 ATS versus good offenses that average 5.9 or more yards per play. Since Penn State is averaging 6.0 yards per play, this trend is active.
Iowa’s defense is elite year after year and 2023 is no exception. They rank 14th in scoring defense (12.3 points per game allowed) and 18th in total yardage allowed (286.0) and, as you see above, typically are able to slow down opponents that have elite offenses.
Back The Hawkeyes Against The Spread
I’m a sucker for awesome trends and this one is no exception. Penn State should win this game, but I love Iowa to cover at +14.5. Keep in mind that former Michigan QB Cade McNamera is at Iowa now as well, so their embarrassing offensive outputs from previous years has another layer this season as well. Get the Hawkeyes at +14.5 at BetMGM (-110)!
