Iowa vs Oregon Prediction

In this Iowa vs Oregon Prediction, Iowa is coming as -9.5 road favorites. Iowa has been the far better team this season but have been terrible on the road. They have been better against the spread than Oregon this season and are 7-3 in their last 10 games. On the flip side, Oregon has been on a free fall with seven consecutive losses and are 1-6 against the spread and are going up against Iowa’s elite defense, that ranks 5th in the entire nation. I expect an easy victory for the road team, so take Iowa and lay the points.
