College Football Free Pick: Take the Hawkeyes. What have the Huskers done in the past three weeks that makes anyone think they deserve to be nearly a 10-point favorite over a conference foe not named Minnesota? Beat a beleaguered Penn State team in Happy Valley? Nebraska has been an undisciplined football team at times this year and Bo Pelini’s defense just isn’t what it was a couple of years ago. Iowa hasn’t looked pretty at times this season either but the Hawkeyes should keep this game relatively close. According to latest college football trends, the Huskers are 1-6 against the spread in their last seven home games and 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. Iowa, on the other hand, is 12-4-1 ATS in its last 17 games as an underdog and 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games as a road underdog.
