Analysis: I’m a bit surprised that Iowa isn’t favored by a few more points as they are clearly the better team in this matchup and are playing at home in this contest.
Junior quarterback Ricky Stanzi is a player that doesn’t get much national recognition but certainly knows how to run an offense and manage a game.
While the Arizona Wildcats have gone 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog and 6-2 ATS versus a team with a winning record, I like the Iowa Hawkeyes to deliver a message in this contest as they’ve posted a spotless 5-0 ATS record in their last five games against a team with a winning record while also going 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a favorite.
One of the reasons I don’t have a lot of confidence in the Arizona Wildcats is the fact that they’ve gone 1-4 ATS in their last five road games and just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games against Big Ten opponents.
While the Hawkeyes have recorded a stellar 4-1 ATS mark in their last five games, the Wildcats have struggled to cover the spread recently, going just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall.
In addition to playing the Wildcats in this contest, I also like the Under as it has gone a perfect 4-0 in Arizona’s last four games overall and 13-3 in Iowa’s last 16 non-conference games.
