Iowa has dropped two straight games while falling to 1-3-1 ATS in its past five games.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth-quarter collapse has been a reoccurring theme in 2010, as the Hawkeyes have suffered late-game meltdowns in all four losses this season. Against the Buckeyes, they allowed 10 points in the final eight minutes, including a touchdown with less than two minutes to go. Statistically, the \u201cD\u201d has been excellent. It ranks sixth in country in scoring, sixth in rushing defense and 14<sup>th<\/sup> in total defense. But when the game is on the line, Iowa has faltered. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the ball, Iowa managed just 276 yards against Ohio State. Ricky Stanzi has 23 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season, but the Hawkeyes needed a bigger effort against Ohio State (20-31, 195 yards, one touchdown). At least freshman back Marcus Coker is emerging. He had nine carries for 70 yards and a score against OSU. He\u2019ll likely start against Minnesota, as Adam Robinson suffered another concussion. In Coker\u2019s first start, against Indiana, he racked up 129 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota (2-9, 6-4 ATS) had last week off, giving it plenty of time to relish a 38-34 upset over Illinois. The victory ended a nine-game losing streak. The Gophers were 21-point underdogs, but they\u2019ve now covered two straight games against the spread.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Minnesota got some pressure on the quarterback. The team entered the game with just eight sacks on the year, but it racked up a season-high three sacks against Illinois. The Gophers also intercepted a pass while holding Illini quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to 10-21 for 172 yards. The performance is a big-time aberration, however. On the year, the Gophers are allowing over 400 yards and 33 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, the offense is a plodding unit that somehow rose to the occasion against Illinois. Minny is averaging just 22 points per game this season, and the 38-point outburst marked just the third time all year the Gophers have topped 24 points.<\/p>\n<p>Iowa hasn\u2019t delivered on its promise, but it\u2019s still a tough, talented Big Ten team. The last three times Minnesota has played similar teams\u2014Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin\u2014the Gophers lost by an average score of 41-14. Yes, Iowa has suffered some fourth-quarter collapses, but this game will never be close enough for that to be a concern.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iowa at Minnesota pick<\/strong>: Iowa -15.5<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/baseball-betting-bonus.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">START NCAA FOOTBALL GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers will both be looking to win Friday at TCF Bank Stadium.
