I'm ISU alumni and I can tell you that we always play each other hard in this game. ISU is actually decent this year as opposed to the last 4 years. *BUT* Iowa has also been blowing out teams this year so far havne't they?
My advice is gauge how good IOWA is, if they are actually dominant then stay away. Otherwise, they should line this game as a PK every year because it always seems so close.
I agree with your pov. I am not sure what to make of Iowa yet.
I don't trust 10 point teasers in college football since blowouts can happen with ANYONE. With that I would play these as they look solid.
USC pk (do you really think they lose SU at home....NO!!)
penn st -16.5 (at syracuse.....the worst team in college football)
Arizona pk (they are an underrated team that is playing at a terrible new mexico team. I see them getting the SU win.
I would simply play these as you have superior teams playing weaker opponents. Back up the brinks truck.
