How America is predicting Maryland-Iowa

Oct. 31, 2015 2:51 pm

Iowa is favored to defeat Maryland by 17 or so points Saturday.

In football. If the Hawkeyes beat Maryland by 17 or more in men's basketball when they play next Jan. 28 at Maryland, the sea will melt and the rocks will burn.

So this week's question isn't if the Hawkeyes will triumph. It's this: By how much? I'm only listing picks that give scores or say whether or not Iowa will cover the spread.
