The Iowa Hawkeyes will be aiming for their first outright home victory over Nebraska since 1981 when they renew their annual rivalry with the Cornhuskers in a college football Week 12 matchup at Kinnick Stadium.
- Nebraska is 5-2 SU in its last seven games against Iowa.
- Iowa is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games at home.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of Iowa's last eight games after a win.
The Hawkeyes are unbeaten in their past two, both straight up and against the spread, including last week's impressive 28-0 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini as 9-point road chalk. Iowa has held opponents to 17 or fewer points in three of four. The Hawkeyes have also been a solid bet on the road, covering in three of four this season, and are 16-4 ATS over their past 20.
The Cornhuskers travel to Iowa looking for a third straight SU and ATS win. But Nebraska has struggled on the road, losing outright in its past two, including a stunning 62-3 loss at Ohio State as 17.5-point underdogs three weeks ago. Cornhuskers games have typically been low-scoring affairs this season, with the point total finishing UNDER in eight of their past nine.
Iowa has taken two of three from the Cornhuskers, and covered in three of their past four clashes. But the Hawkeyes are winless in two at home since renewing their annual rivalry with Nebraska in 2011, and are 0-3 SU in their past three home dates with the Cornhuskers.
