BEST VALUE: Iowa at 60/1. I’m extremely confident Kirk Ferentz’s squad will win the Big Ten West based on its schedule. (I also like Iowa ‘over’ 8.5 wins and will have an article coming soon where I’ll further explain that stance.) The Hawkeyes have a great chance of going 11-1 in the regular season since they don’t have to face Michigan St. or Ohio St. Iowa gets its four toughest league games at home against Michigan, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Nebraska (on a short week). Furthermore, the Hawks get an open date before their toughest road assignment at Penn St., which is their only road foe (of five) that had a winning record in 2015. If Iowa gets to the Big Ten Championship Game with an 11-1 record, we’ll likely be looking at hedge possibilities to ensure that we profit off this 60/1 ticket.
