Stephen Nover's CFB Underdog Supreme - 80% CFB 'Dog Run
(NCAAF) Iowa vs. Penn State,
Point Spread: 14.50 | -110.00 Iowa (Away)
Result: Loss
Penn State is getting a lot of love so far this season. Too much in my view given this inflated point spread.

Iowa is improved at quarterback. Its defense remains first-rate and I give a checkmark in coaching to the Hawkeyes in a matchup of Kirk Ferentz versus James Franklin. 

Penn State hasn't faced a defense the caliber of Iowa's yet this season. The Nittany Lions also haven't beaten Iowa by more than six points during the last six seasons. The teams didn't meet last year. Iowa defeated Penn State in 2021 and 2020. 

The Hawkeyes are 7-2 ATS the last nine times they've been a road 'dog during the regular season. 

No argument that Penn State has the superior skill position. But the Hawkeyes are always tough in the trenches and they are upgraded at QB this season with the transfer of former Michigan QB Cade McNamara.
