4* BIG TEN BOOKIE BEATDOWN

Northwestern vs. Iowa, 03/03/2012 14:30 EDT, Score: 70 - 66

Point Spread: -2/-105 Iowa

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

The Hawkeyes have played their best basketball at home this season, and I look for them to finish up the year by knocking off Northwestern. Iowa has already beat the likes of Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana, and Wisconsin at home this season, and are coming off an impressive 62-53 road win at Nebraska. Not only will the Hawkeyes be motivated on senior day, but they will be out for revenge after losing by 19-points at Northwestern earlier this season.

Iowa is 10-3 ATS (+6.7 Units) in home lined games this season, 12-3 ATS in home games off an upset win over a conference rival as an underdog since 1997, and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.BET THE HAWKEYES!
