After squandering second-half leads in their first two games, the Iowa Hawkeyes made sure not to let it happen again last week. Iowa got off to a fast start against Michigan State on Sunday and never let up, building a 35-point lead by halftime and finishing with a 49-7 home victory. The Hawkeyes hope for a similar performance when they visit the Big Ten Conference-rival Minnesota Golden Gophers on Friday. Kickoff from TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is set for 7 p.m. ET.
Iowa (1-2) posted its fifth consecutive victory over Minnesota last season, a 23-19 triumph at home.

Why Iowa can cover
The Hawkeyes did much of their damage against the Spartans on the ground, rushing for 226 yards and four touchdowns. Tyler Goodson was the star as he accounted for half of the production with 113 yards and two scores. The sophomore has found the end zone in six of his last seven games dating back to last season, totaling seven TDs in that span.
While he hasn't really gotten going yet, Spencer Petras is attempting to make Iowa's passing game fearsome. The sophomore has attempted 116 passes through three games, the second-most among Big Ten quarterbacks, and is averaging 216 yards per contest. Petras has thrown both of his touchdown passes this year to senior wideout Brandon Smith, who has made three catches in each of the first three games.
Why Minnesota can cover
The Golden Gophers' running game has improved each week this year, recording 129 and 262 yards, respectively, in the first two games before exploding for 325 against Illinois. Mohamed Ibrahim outgained the Fighting Illini (181 yards) on his own, matching his career high of 224 on 30 carries. The junior also ran for 224 yards as a freshman against Georgia Tech in the 2018 Quick Lane Bowl.
Ibrahim has had four rushing touchdowns in each of his last two outings, giving him 10 in three contests this year. He ran for a total of seven scores in 10 games last campaign. Ibrahim is just 34 yards away from eclipsing the mark of 604 he accumulated in 2019.
How to make Iowa vs. Minnesota picks
SportsLine's model is leaning under on the total. In fact, it says both starting quarterbacks throw fewer than two touchdown passes. It also has generated an against-the-spread pick that cashes in almost 60 percent of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
