Iowa Almost Two Touchdown Favorite Against Northwestern

It's Homecoming Week at the University of Iowa and the Hawks are a big favorite over Northwestern.

Iowa comes into the game with a 3-1 record while Northwestern is just 1-3 for the year. Iowa has won three straight against the Wildcats and the football experts have picked Iowa to win by 13.5 points.

Iowa's offense has struggled since it's loss to North Dakota State and last week only managed 14 points against Rutgers. Iowa will be without the services of wide receiver Matt VandeBerg due to a foot injury suffered in practice this week.

A couple of penalties the last couple of weeks have put a damper on the offense but look for Iowa to bounce back against Northwestern.

My prediction. Iowa 35 Northwestern 14

Kickoff is at 11 a.m. and the game will be on ESPNU.
