Minnesota vs. Iowa Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for College Football Week 11

Minnesota was shutout by Illinois at home last week, but now must turn their attention to Iowa on the road in a game that helps sort out the Big Ten West.

Four teams are tied at 4-2 in the division. The Gophers and Hawkeyes are tied at the top, but so are Wisconsin and Purdue. Minny has a matchup with Wisconsin in the final week of the season, so this game won't sink their chances, but it takes the pressure off of next week's game against Indiana.

Meanwhile, Iowa will need some help after losing to Wisconsin and Purdue already, so a win will keep them alive in the division race.

How should we bet this pivotal conference matchup? Here are the odds form WynnBET Sportsbook.

Minnesota vs. Iowa Pick and Prediction

It's tough to back Iowa as a favorite given the team's current form. Not only have they struggled to get points lately, scoring no more than 17 points in three straight, the team will likely turn to backup quarterback Alex Padilla after starter Spencer Petras left last week with an injury. Petras was left off of the depth chart for this week.

Padilla may invigorate life into the Hawkeyes' poor passing game, but this may not be the game to do it against a Minnesota defense that is top 50 in defensive pass success rate.

Iowa's injury concerns don't stop there, two of their top cornerbacks were also left off the depth chart, Riley Moss and Terry Roberts, meaning that Minnesota could get their passing game back on track with Christian Autumn-Bell expected to start at wide receiver for the team.

I don't see the gap between these two as six points and P.J. Fleck's team has been fantastic as an underdog this season, covering all four times.

I'll take the points here, and I believe Minny is live for an upset.

PICK: Minnesota +6 (-110)
