Wise Guy
(NCAAF) Iowa vs. Northwestern,
Point Spread: -1.00 | -106.00 Iowa (Away)
Result: Win
Big Ten Game of the Year

This is the same bubble burst theory that won easily with Stanford. We even have a very specific version that is now 51-9 against the spread and yes the only two times it applies is here and Thursday.

Once riding sky high, Northwestern got some serious humble pie in a 38-0 rout, It is a very tough spot to be facing a superior Iowa team. This is the best Hawkeyes offense in years.

Three different Iowa receivers (Tevaun Smith, Matt VanDeberg, Jerminic Smith) have had 100-yard receiving games. No other Big Ten team can say that. Iowa has 11 plays of 40-plus yards in six games. Last season, it had just 12 such plays in 13 games.
