Northwestern kept this game close last season with Iowa and this will be a lower scoring rock fight. Northwestern is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against an opponent in the Big Ten conference. Iowa is 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games played on a Saturday. Their last three of four games were close, separated by 10 points or less. Both defenses are going to keep them in this game as this is too many points.

Best bet: take the points with Northwestern.
