I use ESPN only, unless they have not posted. At this time ESPN has +2.5. Will be interesting to see what it is after a short week, qb question mark and other injuries as well as short week to a coast where the past has not been to favorable.

Now -3.5

Yikes.
Interested where you saw that (assuming you meant Iowa+3.5).

All major books currently at +2.5.

If it creeps to 3, and sits there most of the week, then jumps to 3.5 late in the week, that's not a good sign.

3 moving to 3.5 late in the week, to me, is the most significant .5 point movement there is. Those games often result in a blowout for the favorite.

But I don't really anticipate seeing that movement. Nor do I anticipate Iowa getting blown out

I lay it on the Hawks. Washington is not a physical football team. Ohio State was and they were the more physical team Saturday. Iowa will win by 10!

Also we can't get strip sacked on our first drive and turn it over in our own end.

The only stiffs in the b10 are Rutgers and Maryland.

Even Purdue has a competent coach.

Iowa needs to be prepared.
I couldn't disagree more. Purdue lost to Wake at home, by 39 to ND at home, and to UCLA by 14. The win against Illinois says more about the Illini than Purdue. The Big10 is loaded with stiffs this year. Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue, Michigan State, and Illinois will all struggle to get bowl eligible this year. Hell, I'm not sure about PSU or Wisconsin either. Neither team has beaten an average opponent yet. Same for Washington and Michigan.

Did you take the points or the moneyline?

Good to hear you don't think Wash that physical.

Haven't watched them much this season

Seeing +2.5 ranging to +3.5 at major books presently.

Stayed tuned. Should expect to see everything at at least +3 soon. Then see how it plays out from there.

The early move is almost certainly sharp money. But still a decent chance, at this point, that it's steam.

Let's see how the movements continue to define themselves

+3 and 41.5 as of 11:45 AM Monday
The little On3 percentages in the top left corner are kind of interesting to follow.

It opened with Iowa a slight favorite on Saturday night and has steadily dipped towards Washington now being a 60% favorite, and I only expect that to continue to fall towards them as favorites.

People outside Iowa are jumping off this team with reckless abandon.

True, unfortunately. I have said this a couple times, that my personal feeling is this Friday the West coast “jinx” ends and Brown plays well.

What about Heck playing well in his first start on the road since it looks like he's going to be the guy?

Was playing against a "relaxed" zone defense. Washington plays basically man to man. If its Heck, hope he can get it done. I personally think Brown has earned it to this point.

Oh I agree on Brown, but it looks like he's probably out.

Did not think the DB who suffered a hamstring in Michigan game and gave up TD late was cleared. Hope I am wrong.
Brown didn't play last week. So with a hammy, gamblers would assume him to be out until announced back. So that wouldn't have moved the line.

With a DB being out in college football, Vegas would very rarely even consider it worth .5 point, in terms of true projection
