While I'm not one to usually play college football, the Iowa at Minnesota - Iowa -10 appears to be a safe bet, even giving the 10 points.
Iowa will have as many fans at the game as Minnesota, although its played at the hump dome. Iowa has the ability to put points up on the board quickly, as they have done to better opponents than Minnesota (see Iowa st, Penn st, and Michigan (All on the road)). Minnesota's only offensive option is its ground game of 3 yards and a cloud of dust, which they abandon immediately after losing a lead. (see Ohio St/Michigan games) MN has no quarterback and their special teams (punting game) is atrocious. Add to the fact that Banks will be allowed time to throw against MN's Defense, should ensure that Iowa puts at least 38 on the scoreboard.
