5* Best Bet
(NCAAF) Iowa vs. Rutgers,
Point Spread: -13.00 | 100.00 Iowa (Away)
Result: Loss
Taking IOWA here. Never like laying nearly 2 TDs on the road, but these programs are in different places. Iowa in off a last second loss to North Dakota State! Now, NDST is a FCS school, they are one of the top ones in the nation. I don't think Rutgers would win against them. That being said. Iowa has zero room for a slip up. Maybe if they didn't lose you could say they would over-look the Rutgers. But they aren't in a spot with Northwestern up next. QB Beathard is 15-3 and, as a senior, won't be intimidated playing in New Brunswick. I don't think that the Scarlet Knight offensive, especially at QB, will be able to mount any serious offensive drives. We saw them get hammered 48-13 at Washington. Iowa has the same kind of talent. Howard and New Mexico are not even close to Big 10 talent. 5* Best Bet IOWA
