Iowa’s early result of a two-touchdown favorite has quickly dwindled in Vegas, but the public might be trending a different way after the spread drops close to single digits.

More from Football

Vegas sportsbooks currently have the Hawkeyes as a 10.5-point favorite, a point lower than most offshore sportsbooks. That’s because people are actually trending in the opposite direction already on offshore websites, meaning that the line dipped to 10 points but then people started banging on the favorites.

5Dimes actually has the line all the way back to Iowa as a 12-point favorite. Because what’s happening on the offshore books, it’s a stretch that the Cyclones will actually be just single-digit underdogs in Vegas.

Total points scored in the game opened up around 49 points on most offshore books and it is rising. Going back to 5Dimes, they currently have the total sitting at 50.
