Growing up in Charles City,Iowa i was born a Hawkeye fan with no pro teams in the state. Being a paid handicapper, it's my duty to be non bias and never allow my heart to be involved. This was a game i was going to go to until they discovered the drug house two blocks from the iowa campus and now Iowa's top two wide receivers and top running back are suspended for this game. Iowa's offense was'nt all that good at the end of the season anyways. Iowa is down to there 4th and 5th string running backs for this game, and 3rd and fourth wide receivers. Stanzi is a good quarterback and then Iowa has that old wiley veteran defensive cooridnator in Norm Parker, that when given a month to study a team, there is no one better as illiustrated in last years bowl game when the #1 offensive team in the country in georgia tech was totally shut down in Iowa's underdog win in the bsc bowl game. This years defense has a strong defensive line with 3 of them projected to be playing on Sundays. :facepalm:
I see this game a defensive battle in the first half. Missouri will be running draws, screens and quarterback runs to keep the line from Iowa honest. Iowa's offense will be trying not to make mistakes and play a field position game and let there defense come up with a big play. As the game goes on, Iowa's week special teams will again let them down and Missuri's offense will keep Iowa's defense on the field too long again, and will eventually wear down this Iowa team who has under performed all year. Iowa has a great coach, and great fans . But the smart money should be on Missouri. I got Missouri by 8. 21-13 in what should be a conservative offensive game for both teams and Iowa's mistakes and poor special team are the difference in the end.
MISOURI -2.5 big
IOWA UNDER first half 23.5 big
good luck guys ARROW:toast:
