This is a Big Ten Conference matchup where road victories are difficult to come by especially for a team playing at Iowa.

The Hawkeyes are two different teams. They are 3-7 on the road, but 13-2 SU, 12-3 ATS in Iowa City.

Iowa has won its last seven Big Ten home contests. Among the Hawkeyes' victims during this span are Michigan, Rutgers, Indiana, Northwestern, Illinois and Maryland. Iowa averages 88 points at home.

Michigan State averages 68.5 points a game. The Spartans are at their worst on the road, too, going 3-5 SU and ATS.

It's a revenge spot, too, for Iowa. The Spartans nipped the Hawkeyes, 63-61, in East Lansing on Jan. 26 but failed to cover as 2 1/2-point home favorites.
