Hawkeye football is back! Iowa opens the year with a home matchup against FCS Illinois State. While the Redbirds went 6-5 a season ago, they enter 2024 with several All-MVC preseason honorees and hopes of playing spoiler inside Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.
Vegas thinks those odds are pretty low, however. Our friends over at DraftKings Sportsbook have #25 Iowa favored by 22.5 with the over/under set at 40.5 total points. There’s been minimal movement in the line this week as things opened Iowa -22.5 with an over/under at 41 total points. The updated line gives us an implied final score of Iowa 31.
