Iowa Hawkeyes Season Calendar and Props Rundown this Season
| MyBookie’s Preview of Iowa’s Big Ten Conference Run

2024 Iowa Hawkeyes Football Team | 135th Season of the NCAA gridiron action | 26th season of Kirk Ferentz Head Coach
Big Ten Conference

Kirk Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes will start the 2024 season fresh off a 10 win season.

The Hawkeyes were one of the oddest teams in the country, as they struggled to score all season, but played in the Big Ten title game, and also in the Citrus Bowl.

Neither went well for the Hawkeyes, as they did not score in either, losing a combined 6-10.

They finished the season 10-4, and just inside the Top 25.

In 2024, the Iowa Hawkeyes will have some new looks.

Cade McNamara is projected to be the starting quarterback.

Leshon Williams will get the carries to start the season, while Kaleb Brown and Seth Anderson are the top receivers.

One of the best tight ends in the nation will wear 85 for the Hawkeyes, as Luke Lachey will play his final season with the Hawkeyes.

Writer’s Picks for Iowa 2024 Season

Win Total in 2024: 8.5

The Iowa Hawkeyes start the season at home against Illinois State.

While the Redbirds should not be able to beat the Hawkeyes, they are a team that will force Iowa to focus a little.

Iowa should win their first game of the NCAAF season.

Week 2

Week two stays at home, and that’s a big deal in this game.

They will take on Iowa State in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk game.

The home team typically has an advantage in this game.

Iowa should be favored to beat the Cyclones.

In September, a third straight home game will take place.

The Troy Trojans come to town.

Week 4

Week four is where the Hawkeyes start to go on the road.

The first Big Ten game of the season is at Minnesota.

After a week off, Iowa will remain on the road and take on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Ohio State is not only one of the favorites to win the Big Ten, but also a national title contender.

October Games

October 12th does not get a ton easier, as defending national runner up Washington comes to town.

The Huskies will be down, but will still bring plenty of firepower into Iowa City.

The final two games in October feature a road trip to Michigan State.

The Spartans are projected by many to be one of the worst teams in the Big Ten.

The final October game is at home, in a homecoming battle against Northwestern.

November Games

When November arrives, the final four games of the season will be interesting.

November 2nd, the Hawkeyes are at home against Wisconsin in the annual black out game.

They then have a short turn around, and need to get to Pasadena to take on UCLA on Friday night.

After a week off, the Hawkeyes go to College Park Maryland to take on the Terrapins.

Final Home Game

The final game is at home against Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers are projected by many as a dark horse to contend for the Big Ten title game.

Are there 9 wins here?

Very good chance, they will be favorites in 9 of those games.

Can they win them all?

That’s the next question.

Can Iowa get to the Big Ten title game for another chance at a win?

What bowl game will they be looking at.

8.5 is a great number, and if we had to side one way or another, we would take the UNDER and settle at 8 wins.

Odds to Make College Football Playoff: +650
