Nope. not betting the game until I see the O/U. Laying 30 in ANY Iowa game is foolish.
Yeah, sometimes the hawks look like anything but a well oiled machine in the first few games. And Kirk is well known for taking his foot off the gas, the air out of the ball, ect when up big

NIU is returning 18 starters , it is free money to take them and the points in week 1 against Iowa who will not show the full playbook unless they have to , , Kirk never piles on points , He will just want to get out of that game with a win plus Iowa will have a 1st time starting QB and will probably run the ball 50 times

I can’t remember the last time Iowa covered in a season opener. I will definitely be taking NIU to cover.

In the era of NIL any really good starters they had would have left for money.
