Iowa Hawkeyes CFB Week 13 Betting Lines
Head coach Mike Locksley of the Maryland Terrapins is yet to gain traction. Most fans and gamblers believe that if Locksley were going to turn around the Terps, it would have happened by now. Instead, the Maryland program remains mired in mediocrity with no hope in sight. Last week, the Terps lost at home to the bowl-bound Rutgers Scarlet Knights. On Saturday the Terps will host the Iowa Hawkeyes, who have one of the most improved offenses in college football. Iowa is coming off a bye week following a road loss against the UCLA Bruins.

Iowa Hawkeyes Weekly Recap
Last game, the Iowa Hawkeyes lost 20-17 against the UCLA Bruins as 6.5-point road favorites. The game went under the total of 45.5. Iowa has a record of 6-4 straight up, 5-5 against the spread, and 8-2 over/under the total. Iowa ranks 102nd for total offense, 127th for passing, 15th for rushing and 56th for scoring.

Yes, it was a Big Ten matchup, but it wasn't like Iowa lost to Ohio State or Oregon here. And it wasn't Wisconsin who the Hawkeyes hammered the previous week.
This was a less-than-pedestrian UCLA squad that entered the game with a record of 3-5 and really didn't have a whole lot going for it on either side of the ball.
And you know what? Early on, it looked like Iowa was about to rout another opponent, as the Hawkeyes jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter.
But before you knew it, the Bruins had rattled off 17 unanswered points to take a seven-point edge heading into halftime. This was in spite of the fact that UCLA had turned the ball over three times.
As painful as it may sound, it's time to state the obvious: the Hawkeyes have failed massively this season.
Iowa stands at just 6-4 and has a couple of ugly losses on its resume. Losing to Ohio State was expected, and the Iowa State loss doesn't look bad anymore, either. But falling to Michigan State and UCLA? That shouldn't happen to a team that had lofty expectations heading into 2024.
The Hawkeyes tried Cade McNamara under center, but that didn't work. Then they went to Brendan Sullivan, who registered just one full start before getting injured and being replaced by Jackson Stratton.
Iowa just cannot seem to muster a consistent offensive unit, a direct result of not having any truly dependable weapons outside of running back Kaleb Johnson, who just had his worst game of the season.

The Iowa Hawkeyes have a proud tradition and one of college football's most passionate and devoted fan bases. Iowa has 13 conference championships and five division titles. They won the national championship in 1921, 1922, 1956, 1958, and 1960. Howard Jones, Forest Evashevski, Hayden Fry, and Kirk Ferentz are legendary coaches who are on the Iowa Mt. Rushmore.
Ferentz took over for Fry in 1999 and led the Hawkwe4yuees to four top-9 or better finishes from 2002 through 2009. In recent years, Iowa has been a consistent top-25 program.
Fans have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of game-breaking talent on the Hawkeyes. Iowa is in the second tier of Big Ten contenders. And fans are running out of patience.
