Hawkeyes @ Panthers Predictions

Iowa Hawkeyes (+1) @ Pittsburgh Panthers

Iowa is getting a lot of respect as they head to Pittsburgh with their 3-0 record. My only question is who have they played? The Hawkeyes opened against I-AA Maine, and then played a team that should be I-AA in Florida International, followed by rival Iowa State last week. All three games were at home too.

Pittsburgh started the season ranked in the Top 25 before opening with a stunning loss to Bowling Green. They followed that up with a win over the Buffalo Bulls but have yet to cover a spread this season. The Panthers have had two weeks to prepare for this game and it’s a must-win for a program looking to restore respect after an unimpressive first two games.
