NCAA Football Iowa Hawkeyes Betting Tips for the Upcoming 2022 Season

Every season in college football, we always see a few teams who overachieve and do things that nobody expected. With a 10-win season, the Iowa Hawkeyes certainly fell into that category. All the more astonishing was that they were able to get to that total with an offense that did not do a lot of things very well. The defense deserves a ton of the credit for a great season, but will they be able to deliver the good again this year without some help from the offense. That is just one of many questions that needs to be answered for this team, and you have to say that the bookies are not on board with the idea of the Hawkeyes having an encore performance, as they have their 2022 season win total set at 7 ½. Will they surprise everyone again, or will this be a season where they take a backward step? Let’s look and see so you can plan your bets against their NCAA Football Betting Lines.

Iowa 2022 NCAA Football Season Betting Guide

Hawkeyes Regular Season Win Total

Last season, the Hawkeyes came flying out the gate, winning their first 6 games of the year, 3 of which were against ranked opponents. It was a surprise, but it was one that caught up with them, with back-to-back losses to Purdue and Wisconsin coming on the heels of that fast start. This season, they have a chance to get off to another good start before getting into what is a brutal schedule. Those first 4 games are against South Dakota State, Iowa State, Nevada, and Rutgers. After that comes Michigan, who destroyed the Hawkeyes in the Conference Championship Game last season. They are then on the road to Illinois and Ohio State, at which point we could start to see the losses piling up.

The rest of the way, they have home games against Northwestern, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, as well as a pair of road games against Purdue and Minnesota.

From Week 5 onwards, things get really tough for the Hawkeyes, and the reality is that I do not expect lightning to strike twice. This is a team that looks set to win 7 or 8 games, which is why that win total set by the bookies is almost perfect. This really could go either way for the Hawkeyes and I am leaning toward the under until I get a better look at that offense.

Big Ten Conference Odds

The Iowa Hawkeyes have the benefit of being in the weaker of the two divisions in the Big Ten, but with games against Michigan and Ohio coming this season, you imagine that they would need to win all their other conference games if they are to make a return to the Conference Championship Game. The bookies seem to agree with me here, as they have the Hawkeyes in at +1775 to win the conference. Even if they do find a way to repeat and win the West, I still think they would be looking at a similar outcome to what happened last season when they were shelled by the Wolverines. I don’t like Iowa to win their division, never mind the conference.
