Ohio State is just 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games against Iowa and the underdog has also covered in 4 of the last 5 meetings. The under has hit in the last four games played in Iowa. My pick is with Iowa at home with the points as it is tough to win on the road in conference play, let alone by 13 points.
