    Iowa is favored tonight by 3.5 points...I find this pretty interesting

      Remember, lines are set by betting, not by a decision on who the better team is.

      Iowa, by virtue of reputation, will get the heavier action.

        But weren't we the favorites last year in the Dome, even though Iowa was a top 15 team? I think this may have to do with the number of wins we have in CHA.

          Yes, UNI was a 2 point favorite last season against Iowa.

            The spread is likely based on the home court advantage. On a neutral court, the game might be considered a tossup.

              the end line is determined by the betting trends news, not the intial come out. The line has already shrunk to 3 so people are liking UNI to cover. Case in point by news discussing how the betting trend determines the spread. if you like UNI to win bet the moneyline if you like to cover bet the spread a better payout on the moneyline

                next year in the Dome, eh?

                No, I don't consider that a neutral court. Though it is as much of one as playing in Wells Fargo would be a neutral court for ISU

                  UNI +3.5 in this one is a steal. If you're into online gambling, I'd put a serious wager on UNI to cover. If we lose, it'll be close...but if you want to make even better money, I'd flat out let it ride on UNI coming home with a W.
