Jeezus this gambling stuff is crazy , Iowa hasnt even played today. But grab that early line man.
yeah; i don't like the quick turn around and travel out West
With the night game and trip to LA, it's going to be a short week for the Hawks. UCLA gaining some momentum here with big road wins @ Rutgers and @ Nebraska. It's going to be another tough game.
Iowa is now a 5.5-point favorite over UCLA, according to FanDuel. The over/under is set at 45.5 points.

Usually I don't either but the Hawks are on a roll and I suspect they want to get at it.
They practice in the morning so they are morning people.
I kinda wish they'd fly out early morning on Friday.
According to ESPN, Iowa is now a 6.5 pt favorite; the O/U remains at 45.5.

Has Kirk commented on how they will approach this? Fly out Wednesday I assume?They practice in the morning so they are morning people.

I see this as a Friday afternoon wager. Washington is beating its chest, but remember Iowa beat Washington 40-16 (one garbage time TD). Other than the messed up internal clock, I foresee a beat down. The oddsmakers are following the money and the dozens of results possible using high speed game play algorithms. They may see too much money on Iowa and want to push some money to UCLA (who once employed the Hair). I also foresee a more Thursday or Friday morning play.
There is no way their going to fly out Friday. Thursday early at the latest.....They practice in the morning so they are morning people.

UCLA played right down the road at Nebraska so it isn't like they don't have to acclimate too.
UCLA is winless at home this year, all 3 games coming after long distance road games the week before.
What to be worried about is UCLA is pretty decent against the run.

Yup. A defense that is strong against the run and an offense that is built on the short passing game being run by an efficient QB. It's one of the worst matchups of the year for the Iowa offense and defense.
Aside from Ohio state, this was the game that concerned me the most, especially on a Friday night. Unfamiliar opponent, long road trip etc.
On a neutral field I think Iowa is the better team, and I’m admittedly more confident with Sullivan starting vs Cade.
Would love to go into the bye having played 3 good games in a row.

speaking of neutral fields, won't there be just as many Iowa fans there as UCLA fans?
Iowa's nearly been hitting the O/U amount by itself 3 of the past 4 games. Maybe (probably?) would have been 4 for 4 if Sully played @ MSU.According to ESPN, Iowa is still a 5.5 pt favorite; the O/U is still 44.5.

Let's just say that I like Iowa's chances now that Cade's out of the picture.
The B1G should force UCLA to build an on-campus stadium. Stanford and Cal recently downsized theirs to 50K an change, no reason UCLA can't have a cozy 50K stadium of their own.
