Iowa opens as a 9.5 pt favorite tomorrow.....

I feel like this game goes one of two ways. Either we regain our January form and win comfortably by double digits or we lose a close, if not heartbreaking, game.

I'm with you on that....exactly how I feel about this one. So, usually something completely different happens. Every time I make a prediction, in which case I try to be realistic, it seems that something completely different happens.
 
I am sure some of our expert analysts will complain about what some of the players did or did not do, but I would also be happy with a 1-point win.
 
Hawks: Home +3, fresh legs +1-2.
Badgers: Usinger's Brats and Michael's Frozen Custard for pre-game meal +5.

That seems a little high with as well as Wisky has been playing lately. I will be happy if the scoreboard shows Iowa with more points when the time hits 0.
Wisconsin hasn't been playing very well lately though..
 
Wisconsin has played 2 games since Iowa last played at PSU.

I'd take Iowa -9.5 with the fresh legs.
 
Books know that Wisky wont get the home cooking and shoot 35 FTs to Iowa's 10 hence the line you see.

Home cooking is actually more than free throw opportunities. Without research, my guess is that Bucky has been getting to the line on the road this year with about the same or greater frequency than their opponents.
I wouldn't expect that they will get 35 tonight or anywhere close to that tonight. Seniors know how to establish position and get fouled while underclassmen usually don't and foul their opponent. Advantage Wisco huge last year. Advantage to a Senior laden Hawkeye squad this year.
 
Huh? Really? Are you trying to troll? Wisconsin has been playing great ball. STFU.

Actually last 2 games they haven't looked that good at all. Michigan St killed them and they struggled at home vs Illinois in a game they were down until last 8-10 minutes of the game. With both games happening since Iowa last played Wed. Be 3rd game in 7 days for Badgers with Hawks having a week to get rested for game tonight.
 
I never bet on games with teams that I like, I'm invested enough emotionally already. That said, if I did, I would take the points and Wisky for a new house.
 
If Iowa gets back to playing defense and rebounding like they were 2 weeks ago, theyll win the game. If they dont, we wont like the result.
 
I have alot of respect for Iowa and how they do business,very much like lunch pail effort.Here is to a great game and I believe it's Iowa's year.

Would love to see Uthoff go off tonight for a huge game being his last vs Wiscky. He's due for a big game too after his last few games he hasn't shot that well.
