T.M. Selection: Iowa - ATS

1) I like the Hawkeyes to get the solid win in this game against the Bruins on Friday, November 8th. This is an interesting line considering how the Hawkeyes are off a huge win over Wisconsin and now had to travel out west to face UCLA in Bruins country! The line looks like an invitation to grab the home dog getting nearly a TD but I am not falling for the trap line as the Hawkeyes have the better defense and the much stronger running attack on offense which makes all the difference here.

2) UCLA has won 2 straight games but this followed a 1-5 start in their first 6 games this season. The Bruins had lost 5 straight games prior to the B2B wins and UCLA is 0-3 at home and scoring only 14 ppg at home this season!

3) Iowa has a tough defense and runs the ball so well on offense and I just don't see the Bruins being able to keep up in this game! Not only is Iowa 6-3 this season, the Hawkeyes have scored an average of 38.5 ppg in their 6 victories. They are favored here and another solid win should result the way I see it as the Bruins remain winless at home on the season.

T.M. Prediction: 28-17 Iowa

Line: -5.5 -122 or -6
