Iowa at Ohio State football betting odds, over/under
Ohio State is a heavy favorite entering Saturday’s game. The Buckeyes are 19.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Iowa is +980 on the moneyline, meaning a $10 bet on the Hawkeyes would return $98 if they pull off the upset.
The over/under is set at 44.5 points.
Ohio State football record, schedule, stats
The Buckeyes are 4-0 and just won their Big Ten opener last week with a 38-7 victory at Michigan State.
Ohio State has not truly been tested this year. Last week’s 31-point win was the closest game it has played all season, with non-conference wins over Akron, Western Michigan and Marshall all coming by 35 points or more.
Ohio State has been dominant in every facet offensively, tallying 25 touchdowns (10 passing, 15 rushing) and averaging more than 530 yards of offense per game. Defensively, the Buckeyes have held teams below 2.0 yards per carry and have forced twice as many turnovers (6) as touchdowns they’ve allowed (3).
Cade McNamara vs. Ohio State
Iowa and Ohio State have some familiarity, most notably thanks to current Hawkeye and former Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara.
McNamara only appeared in one game against Ohio State in his three seasons in Ann Arbor, but it was a successful day. He started at quarterback for the Wolverines in 2021 when they knocked off Ohio State for the first time in nine years, winning 42-27.
McNamara didn’t put up gaudy stats — 13-for-19 passing for 159 yards and an interception — but that 2021 game could still provide a blueprint for the Hawkeyes. Michigan running back Hassan Haskins led the way with 169 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while Blake Corum needed just six carries to add 87 rushing yards of his own. Iowa will likely try to follow a similar path with star running back Kaleb Johnson’s recent emergence.
