GL to everyone!
It's always a wise move to take a look at the Iowa Hawkeyes when making out the shopping list for the upcoming week in college football. Especially when they play at Kinnick Stadium.
Iowa has posted a winning spread record for six straight seasons, second only to Boise State, and it has been particularly profitable at Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes are 26-5-1 against the spread at home since 2001 and they have 'covered' at a torrid 34-11-1 pace versus their Big 10 brethren since 2000.
That hot streak will be put to the test this Saturday when Iowa hosts top-ranked Ohio State. The Buckeyes have been the one blemish on the Hawkeyes recent conference resume. They have won seven of the last eight series clashes versus Iowa and come away with the cash in six of the last seven showdowns.
The Hawkeyes lone win in this span came two years ago when they spanked Ohio State at home, 33-7.
The Buckeyes are virtually invincible when they play at the Shoe, but they are just 5-11 against the spread on the road against Big-10 foes. Conversely, Iowa has 'covered' at a 6-1-1 clip as home dogs. The host team has also cashed seven of the last nine encounters.
Trends and angles for the entire Week 5 menu appear below.
SO. MISS at UCF
Southern Mississippi has won and 'covered' nine of its last 12 on the road against conference foes. Central Florida is 5-1 ATS as home dogs. The Golden Knights won and cashed all four Conference-USA home games in 2005.
BYU at TCU
TCU has won 31 of 33 and 'covered' 21 of its last 33 as home favorites. The Horned Frogs were 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS in conference play last year. BYU has won and cashed eight of its last 11 on the Mountain West Conference highway.
AUBURN at SOUTH CAROLINA
Auburn has won 13 of its last 16 SEC tests and 'covered' at a 11-5 clip. South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier has won 10 of 14 against the Tigers during his storied career.
RUTGERS at USF
Rutgers has faltered at an 11-25-1 clip ATS in conference road games. South Florida has lost and failed in four of its last five as home underdogs.
NORTHWESTERN at PENN ST
Penn State has cashed eight of its last 10 Big-10 games at home. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine series matches. Northwestern and the Nittany Lions have combined to average just 18 points per game in the last 11 encounters.

Nebraska has won 29 of 30 versus Kansas and cashed in 23 of 30. The Jayhawks upset the Huskers last year for their first series win since 1968. Kansas has lost 13 of 14 conference road outings and failed to cash in 10 of the 14.

VIRGINIA at DUKE
Virginia has failed to cash eight of its last 10 when playing back-to-back games on the highway. Duke has lost 10 of its last 12 against the Cavaliers, though it has cashed at an 8-4 clip.

LA. TECH at CLEMSON
Louisiana Tech is 11-5 ATS coming off a SU loss.

***NOTE***
Home Dogs before a bye are 16-0 L16 games S' beginning of '05
ASU and SJSU fit that trend this week as small dogs....
