Iowa at Minnesota

One of these two clubs will be 7-2 after this game and right in the mix in the Big 10 West. Minnesota limps in off a dissapointing upset loss to Illinois while Iowa comes in full of confidence after destroying Northwestern 48-7 last week. In what is supposed to be a very close game, I like the psychological edge for Iowa. Under Kirk Ferentz, Iowa is 47-34 ATS when getting points and 53-41 ATS vs. winning teams including 32-21 ATS vs. teams at .750 or better. In contrast, the Gophers have lost 4 of their last 23 games straight-up vs. teams at .750 or better. Take Iowa to win this one on the road.
