Iowa at Ohio State picks and predictions
Prediction
Ohio State 77, Iowa 71
Moneyline
PASS.
There is little to no value on Ohio State (-350) to beat an Iowa (+275) squad that is winless on the road this season.
Against the spread
BET IOWA +7.5 (-105).
Ohio State has failed to cover in its last 4 games while playing as a favorite. It has won just 2 of its last 5 games while allowing opponents to score 70 or more points in each of its last 5 outings.
Iowa has scored 70 or more points in 9 of its last 10 games.
At 7.5 points, this spread is too large for a shaky Buckeyes team to cover.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 156.5 (-105).
Ohio State has scored 76 or fewer points in 4 straight games and in 5 of its last 6. Similarly, it has allowed 77 or fewer points in its last 4 games and in 5 of its last 6 contests.
Iowa has scored 70 or fewer points twice in the last 3 games. It has hit the Under in back-to-back games and in 3 of its last 5 contests. It has allowed 75 or fewer points in back-to-back games.

Iowa at Ohio State Odds, Picks and Predictions
The Iowa Hawkeyes will travel to Columbus to take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in a highly anticipated Big Ten matchup. The Buckeyes come into the game as heavy favorites, but the Hawkeyes are looking to pull off the upset.
Here are the current odds for the game:
– Ohio State: -14
– Iowa: +14
The Buckeyes have been dominant so far this season, with their only loss coming against Oregon. They have one of the most explosive offenses in the country, led by quarterback C.J. Stroud and running back TreVeyon Henderson. The Hawkeyes, on the other hand, have a strong defense that has kept them in games all season.
As for picks and predictions, it’s hard to go against Ohio State in this one. They have too much firepower on offense and should be able to outscore the Hawkeyes. However, Iowa’s defense could make things interesting and keep the game closer than expected.
I predict Ohio State will win the game, but Iowa will cover the spread. The final score will be Ohio State 31, Iowa 21. It should be a competitive game, but the Buckeyes will ultimately come out on top.
