We like the Iowa Hawkeyes to defeat the Northwestern Wildcats on Tuesday at 7:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Iowa has been perfect at home this season where they are 5-0.

The Hawkeyes are 4-1 against the spread over their L5 games this season.

Northwestern lost their only road game so far. That was a loss straight up and versus the spread against Dayton.

When playing away from home against Iowa, the Wildcats have lost nine straight times (0-9.)

Overall, they are 1-7 against the spread in their L8 games against each other.

We like Iowa to get the home win in the conference opener.
