ROB VINCILETTI: ROSE BOWL POWER SYSTEM on ESPN
(NCAAF) Iowa vs. Stanford,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -104.00 Stanford (Home)
Result: Win
The Rose Bowl play is on Stanford. Game 270 at 5:00 eastern. The line has dipped below 7 in this one which eliminates a system on Iowa. The Hawkeyes are in a major let down mode here as they blew a chance to stay undefeated and make it into the College playoff with that close loss to Michigan St. Now they have to take on the vaunted Stanford offense that is off wins over USC and Notre Dame. The Cardinal are 7-1 vs winning teams, while Iowa managed to take advantage of a Bib 10 schedule that excluded Ohio. St and Michigan. Big 10 bowlers off a win have failed to cover 16 of 22 vs PAC 12 Teams. Iowa has failed to cover 8 of 11 vs PAC 12 Teams and don't have the bowl experience that Stanford has. Rose Bowl favorites have covered 3 of the last 4. Look for Stanford to emerge with a win and cover.
