College Football Betting Trends
Iowa
Iowa has hit the over in its last four road games and in five of its last six Big Ten games.
Indiana
Indiana is 7-2 with the under in its last nine games following a loss and 5-1 with the under in its last six games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.
Prediction:
These two have hit the over in eight of their last 10 meetings. Iowa has been putting up a fair amount of offense this year despite being known for being a ball-control offense. They had 48 on the road against Minnesota last week and should move the ball well on Indiana. The Hoosiers aren’t a defense that is going to really lock up an opponent. Offensively, Indiana should be capable of finding some scores of their own. Iowa is a strong defense, but has allowed at least 14 points in its last three.
