Our Iowa Hawkeyes vs Penn State Nittany Lions Prediction
Penn State are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Iowa. They are also 4-4 ATS against Big 10 teams, while Iowa is 3-5 ATS in conference play. ESPN Matchup Predictor gives the edge to Iowa at 60.9 percent win probability, but don’t count out the Nittany Lions to cover the spread and pull off an upset because I saw these teams hold their ground against elite teams like Michigan 85-90 and Oregon 81-82. Meanwhile, Iowa lost by double digits against USC, UCLA, and Minnesota – teams in the bottom half of the Big 10. Our betting prediction for Penn State vs. Iowa: Penn State will cover +3.5 points.
