Not a bad matchup for scrub night. I bet 100 on Iowa to cover 3.5
 
With Penn State next, I am nervous this could be a trap game.
 
Since joining the B1G (2014), Maryland is 9-18 in conference home games and have lost 7 of their last 8.

In that same timeframe, Iowa is 19-11 in conference road games and have won their last 3.

I think Iowa's defense can hold their own in this one but the game will come down to if Iowa's run game will be like what they did against against Colorado St. and Iowa St. (1.7 ypc) or what they did against Indiana (4.4 ypc) and Kent St. (5.4 ypc)? I think I side with the later in this one and Iowa will be able to dictate the pace of the game. Give me the Hawkeyes to cover
 
Maryland really has not looked very good in their last 2 outings, barely beat Illinois and struggled a bit against Kent State.

Though I guess you could say the same about Iowa and their outing last week against Colorado State.
 
Hawgeyes, 67-14
