Iowa vs UCLA Prediction, Preview & Betting Odds – 11/8/2024

The Iowa Hawkeyes are favored by 6.5 points against the UCLA Bruins on November 8, 2024. Early betting trends show 95% of spread bets on the Hawkeyes and 5% on the Bruins. The total is set at 44.5 points, with 94% of bets on the over. The game is scheduled for 9:00 pm EST. Here, we break down this Iowa vs UCLA matchup in the Big Ten and give you our best bet for the game.

Iowa Looking For Third Straight Win

The Iowa Hawkeyes have won two games in a row and three of their last four entering Friday’s matchup against UCLA. Iowa is 4-2 in the Big Ten this season, two games back of Indiana and Oregon, who are both 6-0 entering this week’s play. While Iowa is known for locking in defensively, it has been their offense that has been the story of late, as they have scored 40 or more points in three of their last four outings.

UCLA Also Entering On Two-Game Win Streak

UCLA is also on a two-game winning streak going into Friday’s game against Iowa. The Bruins have road wins over Rutgers and Nebraska in their last two outings, moving them to 3-5 overall and 2-4 in Big Ten play. Against all odds, the key to this game will be the defense of the Bruins, who are tasked with slowing down an Iowa offense that is red-hot all of a sudden. If UCLA can do that, they could move to within two wins of bowl eligibility by collecting a victory.

Iowa vs UCLA Betting Prediction

Last season, Iowa unders were one of the most profitable betting angles in college football. But ahead of this Iowa vs UCLA matchup, the over is the way to go when dealing with the Hawkeyes. Iowa’s offense has been on fire of late and they will continue to put points on the board here, while UCLA will do just enough scoring to help get this game to the total at the Rose Bowl on Friday.
