The week before that game, Iowa put up 22 points on Rutgers.

Hill is well below par, but he is improving. Iowa quarterback Deacon Hill went 19-for-29 passing for 167 yards and one TD in the Hawkeyes', 15-13, win against Illinois last week. Call me a sucker, but I have to believe these two teams find a way to produce at least 26 points. But now the record for lowest total in a Power 5 matchup has been shattered by this Over/Under number in the Iowa-Nebraska game. Yet it has been a sucker's play to go Over because the Under won in each of these six games. The average total on Iowa's past six games is 32.6 points.

We anticipate BC brings a great effort in their home finale coming of 2 straight losses. Miami just 10-13 SU record in ACC play since start of 2021 and only 3 wins by more than this spread (9 points). Miami 2-5 in league play with wins by 3 & 8 points. Their game vs Pitt was last Thursday so they’ve had extra time to get ready after a loss while Miami will be traveling on a short week. BC had won 5 straight but did not play well the last 2 weeks losing to Va Tech and Pitt. QB VanDyke played well in last week’s game but he is not 100% with a knee injury but was forced back into action when Emory Williams, who started vs FSU a week earlier, was injured. Going back further they’ve been favored 22 times since the start of the 2021 season and covered only 6 of those games. U of M hasn’t been good on the road with a 1-3 SU record (only win Temple) and they’ve been a poor favorite this year going 2-5 ATS in that role. It’s going to be tough for this team, that has already qualified for a bowl game, to get up and go play in cold weather Boston (windy and wind chill in the 30’s at game time) over the Thanksgiving break. They just put all of their physical and emotional effort into the last 2 weeks vs the top 2 teams in the ACC, FSU & Louisville. #116 ASA FREE PLAY ON Boston College +10.5 over Miami FL, Friday at 12 PM ET - We expect Miami to be flat for this one.
