Iowa vs. Northwestern is set for a B1G West showdown in Wrigley Field in Week 10. The two teams are also set for a wildly and agonizingly small over/under for the matchup.

Sunday afternoon, Circa Sports released the opening spreads and point totals for the week, and there’s no question about which game has the smallest point total. The Hawkeyes open as a -5 favorite while the point total for the game checks in at 29.5. Fans looking to get in on the action can head to Caesars to get started!

For context, the Week 8 line between Minnesota and Iowa opened at 31.5 and was by far the lowest over/under of the weekend. Of the Week 10 lines released by Circa Sports, Nebraska vs. Michigan State included the next lowest point total at 35.5.

Iowa heads into the Week 10 matchup coming off a bye week and a 12-10 loss to Minnesota in Week 8. However, the Hawkeyes are somehow still alive in the wide-open B1G West. Iowa is 1 of 4 B1G West teams with a current conference record of 3-2.

On the other side, Northwestern is amazingly 2-3 in B1G play and 4-4 overall under interim head coach David Braun. Despite a tumultuous season, Braun has the Wildcats fighting hard and most recently beat Maryland 33-27.
