\"The<\/a>
The Iowa Hawkeyes have covered the number in their last seven road games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iowa is 3-1 SU and 1-3 ATS on the season, as it comes off a 24-20 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers as 6.5-point road underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a third consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Hawkeyes are 35-46-3 all-time in this series, which is important to consider when making your Week 5 college football predictions, but they\u2019ve won three of the last four meetings.\u00a0 Iowa is 5-2 SU and 2-5 ATS as favorites of 10.5 to 21 points since 2012, with the OVER going 4-2-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Hawkeyes quarterback duo of Jake Rudock and C.J. Beathard has combined for a 68.1 completion percentage\u2014the highest percentage in the Big Ten Conference.\u00a0 Iowa has converted 46.7 percent of its third-down attempts, which is the fourth best mark in that particular conference.\u00a0 Running back Mark Weisman is on the verge of becoming just the sixth player in school history to surpass 2,000 career rushing yards and 20 career touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Purdue is coming off a 35-13 win over Southern Illinois in a game that it led by 25 points at the break, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football lines page.\u00a0 The Boilermakers are 50-37-4 SU all-time in Homecoming games, including a 10-2-1 mark when playing Iowa.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the squad has six rushing touchdowns already this season\u2014matching last year\u2019s total in that category.\u00a0 Purdue is 0-12 SU and 2-10 ATS versus teams with a winning record since 2012, with the OVER going 7-5 in those 12 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Boilermakers are averaging 27.2 points per game through their first four contests, which is much higher than their 14.2 mark for the entire 2013 campaign.\u00a0 Purdue is converting 43 percent of its third downs, which is up from 12 percent a season ago.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the squad has captured 12 of its last 17 Big Ten openers.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Hawkeyes due to their 7-0 ATS mark in their last seven true road games.<\/p>\n
