Luke Lachey is another elite tight end from Iowa, as he leads the team with 131 yards receiving but no touchdowns yet. Iowa Hawkeyes football picks are tough against the spread but have been easy with total, just taking the under with their lack of offense.
The Hawkeyes are hosting Purdue next week in another Big Ten affair.
Michigan State Drama

Michigan State Spartans vs. Iowa Hawkeyes Betting Prediction
Man, the Michigan State Spartans are an absolute mess. If they thought they were a mess before the season started, with their lack of talent, now they are in the middle of a coaching mess and not very talented.
It’s not like Iowa is a great offensive team, but they are going to score enough to make this a pretty quick and easy blowout-type win. When you go on to bet on this game, take the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Barring any late additions to the college football injury report, the final score prediction for this game is the Iowa Hawkeyes 27-10 over the Michigan State Spartans.
- The final bet is the Iowa Hawkeyes -13.
