Iowa Hawkeyes line -4 1/2?

Doesn't this line seem pretty low being that No. Iowa just lost to Furman? Iowa has Worley back as well? Some other factor that I looked at that just don't add up???

I know why this line is so low...but that doesn't mean I agree with the line!

Northern Iowa typically plays Iowa tough. Big rivalry. Northern Iowa has won 2 of 3 @ home against Iowa.

Last year Iowa was losing 50-45 in the 2nd half before going on a big run. And that game was @ Iowa!!!!

Anyway, I'll take Iowa. They return 4 starters from a team that was 7-9 in the Big 10 last year. Three of the starters were Honorable Mention All-Big 10 last year. Northern Iowa just lost to Furman @ home by 9 points.

Wonder if sharp money is keying in up to -6 1/2 some places.

well....I guess now we know why the line was low

Yeah the line got me hook, line and sinker. Couldn't have resisted the -4 1/2 when looking at the #s and now I see why it was "that low"! It was a close game until No. Iowa instead of Iowa pulled away late.
