Game Analysis
Ohio State is a heavy favorite on the road at Iowa. The spread of 14.5 sits just past the key number of 14, which historically makes covering more difficult but avoids a push. Without specific model data, we lean slightly toward Ohio State covering based on talent disparity, but confidence is limited. The total of 45.5 is near average; we see slight over value due to Ohio State's offensive potential against an Iowa defense that is solid but not elite.
