Iowa at Rutgers

It feels like old times at Rutgers as Greg Schiano has the Scarlet Knights off to their fourth consecutive 3-0 start in his second term as head coach. Schiano turned the program around when he went 56-33 from 2005-2011, his last seven seasons in his first stint at Rutgers. They come off a 60-10 pounding of FCS Norfolk State with 563 yards of offense, and Athan Kaliakmanis threw for 309 yards and a TD with no picks. The Spartans were held to 92 passing yards. Rutgers is 6-0 ATS in its past six games following a win by 20-plus points, 11-2-3 ATS after any win. Iowa has two wins over Albany and Massachusetts, but lost its only game against a quality opponent, 16-13, to Iowa State. The Hawkeyes are 1-7-1 ATS their past nine following an ATS win and 0-3-1 ATS their past four road games against teams with winning home records. Rutgers averages 46.3 points, but Iowa allows just 10.0 per game. Take Rutgers and the UNDER.
