Purdue at Iowa: Opening Odds

After a [somewhat] stunning defeat and a [not-so] stunning coaching change over homecoming weekend, Purdue football will travel to Iowa City to take on the AP #16 Hawkeyes in Kinnick. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET so it will be played under the lights. This Iowa teams comes into the week with a 7-2 record with their only losses being to Ohio State (when they still had a healthy Julian Sayin) and at Minnesota. In their 3 remaining games including Saturday night, Iowa is going to attempt to get to 10-2 and try and reach the College Football

Playoff for the first time in school history. The Hawkeyes are currently ranked #19 in the CFP but a new set of rankings will drop this week. Iowa’s previous closest attempt at the playoff was 2015 where a 12-0 Hawkeyes team lost in the Big Ten Championship to Michigan State.
