But this team has struggled covering the spread this year and is 1-4 ATS it its last five games in Iowa. The Badgers are also 1-7 ATS in their last eight overall meetings with the Hawkeyes and are 1-4 ATS int heir last five games following an ATS win. Iowa, on the other hand, is 4-0 ATS in its last four games as a favorite and 4-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record. The Hawkeyes are also 5-0 in their last five games in October. Our pick is Iowa laying the points.
