Northwestern-Iowa posts unbelievable O/U in Week 9 opening line
By Ethan Stone
Published:
Northwestern and Iowa both have truly abysmal offenses and pretty strong defenses, especially in Iowa’s case.
It’s still surprising to find out that the Week 9 opening line for the B1G battle was the lowest over/under opening ever recorded.
Iowa-Northwestern at 31.5 seems to be the lowest total on record by a large margin. This post from @IowaAwesome identifies the previous record as 34.0 https://t.co/zmzAMRaopa https://t.co/D2XKynHkkk

Neither Iowa or Northwestern is averaging over 20 points per game this season. The Hawkeyes are averaging just 14 while Northwestern is hovering just above 18.
Iowa also has the fewest yards per game among any team across FBS. Their 227 yards per game is a full 15 yards per game lower than 2nd place.
If for some reason you want to watch this beautiful football game, the bout is set for Saturday, Oct. 29 at 3:30 EST on ESPN2.
