Iowa at Ohio State predictions

Line — Ohio State -30.5

Mike Hlas — Pressed for time this week, I’ll just recycle my prediction before the last Ohio State-Iowa game. Iowa 55, Ohio State 24

John Steppe — Welcome to Columbus, OH 43210. The ZIP code is strangely similar to my score prediction. Ohio State 42, Iowa 10

Jeff Johnson — I’m expecting a little backyard football for Iowa offensively this week. OK, probably not. The point spread does seem a little high to me, though. Ohio State 31, Iowa 7

Rob Gray — The Hawkeyes opened as 20.5 underdogs and since then that number has swelled to around 30 points. Their defense is too good to allow that big of a blowout to occur, but the Buckeyes are elite in all three phases, so cue up another long day for Iowa fans. Ohio State 35, Iowa 14

Beth Malicki — Everyone knows the number to call for police in an emergency. Let’s do our part to ensure everyone knows to dial 988 for a mental health emergency. It’s new, it’s available, it’s for you. Ohio State 35, Iowa 9

Todd Brommelkamp — Woodshed, Iowa. Remember that? This one isn’t winding up on a T-shirt. Ohio State 37, Iowa 6
