The Hawkeyes will look to pull off the upset in this Iowa vs Ohio State matchup and we will discuss whether or not they have a chance of making that happen.
Iowa Defense to Be Tested In Columbus
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 3-1 on the season going into this huge Iowa vs Ohio State matchup. Iowa got a win in their Big Ten opener in their last outing, beating the Minnesota Golden Gophers by 17 points in Minneapolis. This week, the Hawkeyes could be in for a much tougher game on defense, as they are facing an Ohio State team that has been lighting up its opponents. Still, Kirk Ferentz's team will look to continue to have success on the defensive side of the ball while doing enough with their limited offense to hang around in Ohio.
Buckeyes Offense Flying High Before Iowa Matchup
The Ohio State Buckeyes are off to a perfect start to their season, winning four straight games, including their conference opener last week against Michigan State. Ohio State has allowed a total of 27 points through four games, while scoring 195 points of their own over that span. With the Buckeyes crushing their opponents on both sides of the ball to this point in the year, the question going into this contest will be how their offense will perform against the best defense they have faced to this point in the year. But we don't think there is much reason to doubt the Buckeyes on that side of the ball based on what we have seen.
Iowa vs Ohio State Betting Pick
We expect both teams to do enough scoring to send this Iowa vs Ohio State game over a total that is set in the mid-40s. While Iowa is known for locking its opponents down on defense, they haven't played anyone like the Buckeyes yet. Look for Ohio State to put up a big number despite some resistance from Iowa and for the Hawkeyes to do just enough to fill in the gaps to get to this total.
