What to Know
The Illinois State Redbirds will hit the road to start this year’s campaign against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.
One of the more interesting stats to watch in this game could be passing yards, as these two produced some pretty different results last year. Iowa were ranked 130th in the nation last season, having averaged a brutal 107.2 per game. Illinois State, on the other hand, had no problems: they finished last season ranked 13th with 231.4 per game.
Looking back to last season, Iowa had a phenomenal run, finishing with a superb 10-3 record. Similarly, Illinois State assembled a winning record last year, finishing the season 6-5.
Going forward, Iowa is probably looking forward to this one considering their 22.5 advantage in the spread. They finished last season with a 6-7 record against the spread.
Iowa ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 8-1 when favored last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $456.68. Sadly, Illinois State will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 0-4 as such last year.
