Minnesota vs. Iowa Predictions
In order to make accurate Minnesota vs. Iowa predictions, our sports betting model has sorted through thousands of historical college football games to find similar matchups. We can then draw comparisons and find value based on this analysis.
The model found that the spread is higher than 100% of the 13 most historically similar matchups. That warrants a play on Iowa +2.5.
These teams are mirror images of each other. Both want to play solid defense, run the ball, and play keep-away. Ever since Iowa lost 54-10 at Ohio State on Oct. 22, the Hawkeyes have really turned things around. That’s especially true on the defensive side of the football, as Iowa has allowed 13, 3, and 10 points respectively against Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin in its last three games.
Points will be at a premium on Saturday afternoon. This is essentially a coinflip game between very similar teams, so we’ll take the points with Iowa +2.5.
