Iowa Offense Faces Challenge In Minnesota
The Iowa Hawkeyes are 2-1 going into this weekend's Iowa vs Minnesota matchup, their first Big Ten game of the 2024 season. Iowa has played one power conference opponent this year, losing to Iowa State in their annual rivalry game in non-conference play. The Hawkeyes managed just 19 points in that game and, given their history of offensive woes, it is not unreasonable to have questions about how the offense of the Hawkeyes will play in this crucial conference matchup for Kirk Ferentz's team.
Minnesota Looks For Third Straight Win
The Minnesota Golden Gophers opened their season with a loss at home to the North Carolina Tar Heels. Since then, Minnesota has pitched two straight shutouts, holding FCS Rhode Island and Nevada scoreless in back-to-back wins. Here, Minnesota may not string together another shutout, but their defense will look to hold Iowa down nonetheless. Meanwhile, the Minnesota offense will face its biggest test of the season so far against an Iowa defense that has allowed just 41 points through three games.
Iowa vs Minnesota Best Bet
Both defenses in this Iowa vs Minnesota game have been operating at a high level going into this Big Ten opener for both sides. Combine that with the potential for major offensive struggles on each side of this game and the under feels like a natural choice when betting on this contest. While the total of 35.5 points is certainly low, there is a reason for that and we will take the under for better or worse.
