Iowa vs. Arizona 2010 Week 3 College Football odds opened at Iowa -1 ½ but Arizona was now the favorite heading into game day Saturday. BetUS.com had a line of -1 for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa was among the biggest bets heading into the weekend. Close to 85 percent of the betting public in fact was on Iowa.
When these two teams met last season, Iowa beat Arizona 27-17.
Scouts Inc. says of this game: While the Hawkeyes' offense has surprised, it is their defense that's their calling card. That defense, No. 9 in the country, faces a test in Arizona and QB Nick Foles. Foles completed 83 percent of his passes as the Wildcats scored 93 in their first two games.
