Iowa is 2-8 ATS in all lined games and 1-5 ATS in all lined home games this season. It is coming off an emotional win over in-state rival Drake and I just don’t see the Hawkeyes getting up for this game the same way. Iowa is not an explosive offensive team. It plays half court basketball, and as a result, is only scoring 63.1 ppg this season, which makes the 16 we are catching even more valuable. The Hawkeyes are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 13.0 or greater. Also, plays against favorites of 10 or more points who force 12 or fewer turnovers per game, playing in the month of December, are 39-18 ATS the last 5 seasons. Iowa is not a high pressure defensive team which looks to covert turnovers into points, which is another factor making these 16 points look pretty good. Take the points.
