Game Prediction!
The Pick: Iowa & Indiana Over 167.5 -110
Iowa has won 4 out of their last 5 games against Indiana, but Indiana has covered the spread 6 out of the last 10 times they've played. The over has hit in 4 of their last 5 matchups. Last season, Indiana beat Iowa 74-68 at home, covering the spread, but the total points were under. For this Indiana Hoosiers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes matchup, Iowa is favored by 4.5 points at home. Both teams are on a roll, with Iowa at 5-0 and Indiana at 4-1 in their last 5 games. They've both been in high-scoring games recently, hitting the over 10 out of 13 times combined. I think we'll see another high-scoring game with these strong offenses, so I'd go with the over on the point total.
