IOWA now a 5.5 point favorite at UCLA with O/U of 44.5 (as of Wed Morning). IOWA opened on Saturday Nov 2 as a 4.5 pt Favorite

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.
 
place your bets today!
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.

hope you are right & its a beat down
 
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.
