The Pants Predicts: Iowa vs. Illinois

Will anyone pick the Fighting Illini?The Hawkeyes took down #8 Minnesota last week for their “signature” win this season (which makes me sad to type). Despite the field rushing, Iowa was actually favored in that one. But perhaps fans took to the field not because the Hawkeyes won, but because they covered. Good on ‘em, even if I picked against them :(

Here’s an updated look at the season-long standings.

Thad - 3-1-1

Matt C - 6-4

Jerry - 5-4-1 (should you really be allowed to pick a push?)

DC - 5-5

Doug - 5-5

Matt R - 5-5

Ben - 4-6

BoilerHawk - 4-6

JP - 4-6

Adam - 1-2

As we look to this week, the Hawkeyes are favored at home against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Iowa opened at -12 and have since moved…
