A couple of weeks ago. Iowa played a game with an OU line of 34.5 and it did go over, but just 37 points were scored in this contest. This one will be lucky to reach 31. The Iowa Hawkeyes have the worst offense in the nation and they have averaged just 16.4 ppg. They have averaged just 154 ypg through the air and Illinois has allowed just 159 ypg passing so far. Iowa will not be able to move the ball through the air, but they won’t be able to run the ball either against an Illinois defense that has allowed just 75.6 ypg on the ground so far. The Illini have a better offense but they are still 83rd in passing, compared to 30th in rushing. They will run a lot and Iowa is 13th against the run, while also ranking 12th against the pass. Both offenses are weak and we note that Illinois has allowed just 8.4 ppg on the year while Iowa has allowed just 10.0 ppg on the year. This has the feel of a 13-10 type game. Lastly. The Under is 9-2 in Iowa’s last 11 games in October and 9-1 in Illinois’ last 10 vs. a team with a winning record.
