Despite the cautionary tale from Rutgers, over half of the polls predict Iowa will cover that spread, even though their history against the spread in home openers with big spreads is rough: just 6 wins and 10 losses since 2010, and only 2 wins in 5 such games when favored by 20+. Last year, Iowa covered a large spread against UMass but failed to cover a bigger one against Albany despite a 37-point win. While straight-up, Iowa hasn’t lost a season opener since 2020—and their last home opener loss? To Northern Illinois in 2013. The game kicks off at 3:15 PM Central Saturday.
