4* BIG TEN GAME OF THE WEEK

Iowa vs. Michigan State, 01/10/2012 19:00 EDT, Score: 61 - 95

Point Spread: +14/-102 Iowa

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

Iowa got absolutely crushed in their last game, as they fell 47-76 at home to a very good Ohio State team. The Hawkeyes completely fell apart in the second half of that game, as they trialed by just 9 points at intermission. That loss seems to have overshadowed how well Iowa has played in their two conference road games. The Hawkeyes went into Wisconsin and won 72-65 as a 16-point underdog. The followed that up with a 64-62 win at Minnesota as an 8.5-point underdog.

I'm not saying Iowa will win this game, but I think they are getting way to many points. Iowa is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a SU loss of more than 20 points, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. BET THE HAWKEYES +14!
