Iowa is coming into this game with a 10-6 record this season and they have been playing better in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 games, but their only loss in that span came in their only road game. They have not been good on the road this season as they have lost all 4 of their road games played and they have also struggled against Big 10 opponents as they are only 2-3 in the conference as well. They are going up against a Minnesota team that is 12-4 this season and has been playing very well in their recent games. They are 3-2 in the conference right now and they have won 7 of their last 8 games as well. They have also been much better at home all season as they have won 11 of their 12 games there with their only loss coming by 2 points against Missouri in their 3rd game of the season. Their other 3 losses this season have all come away from home as well. They are coming off of a loss in their last game against Indiana as they lost by 10+ points on the road but they are going to be hungry to bounce back here at home where they have been much better all year. Iowa is coming off of a big win against Nebraska in their last game but they were catching Nebraska right after a win against number 1 ranked Purdue and Iowa is going to struggle a lot more in this conference game on the road against a very good Minnesota team that is hungry to bounce back. Minnesota will cover the spread in this game.
