They have won 6 of last 10 including 2 of the last three.\u00a0 Both teams are looking to prove something with this one and MSU has the advantage of being at home.\u00a0 Looks like a game that will come down to the last possession.\u00a0 Not much value in the line here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iowa @ Arizona (+1.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hawkeyes have a chance at a special season but they better not sleep on Arizona in the desert.\u00a0 The Wildcats have given up only 6 points on offense over two games (I know the competition wasn\u2019t the highest) and have good balance on offense.\u00a0 This is the toughest test yet for both teams.\u00a0 I am curious to see how this one moves during the week.\u00a0 I want to bet the dog but I need a couple more points.<\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR <a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
