Iowa is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. The over is 4-1 in Iowa’s last 5 road games.

The home team is 7-3 ATS in these two teams last 10 head to head meetings.

Iowa is one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the country because they average over 83 points per game and do not like to play defense. Ohio State is a much better defensive team, but doesn’t have the offensive firepower that Iowa does. I am taking the over in this game, as four out of Iowa’s last five games have gone over 162 points.
