Creighton vs Iowa Prediction
In this Creighton vs Iowa prediction, Iowa is coming in as -4.5 favorites. Both teams have identical records this season but Creighton has failed to cover the spread in all of its three games played and has been weaker than Iowa both on the offensive and the defensive end. Iowa has a dominating +20.3 point differential with an elite field goal percentage and are also better in rebounding, so I expect them to take care of business in this matchup that takes place in a neutral site. Take Iowa and lay the points.
