A Big Ten showdown on Friday night in Iowa City will be dictated by the battle of field position, and Jeremy Jones expects points to be at a premium in this conference clash.

Iowa finishes its 2024 regular season Friday night with its annual rivalry game against Nebraska. The Hawkeyes (7-4 overall, 5-3 in Big Ten play) have already clinched a bowl berth, but bragging rights against their neighbors to the west are still on the line. Here's what to know about the game, along with how to watch it.

They did it by roaring to a 24-0 lead, then, as they have tended to do since 2018, shutting down their offense and trying to run out 30 minutes of clock. Even Iowa’s pathetic offense almost came back.

This game opened at Iowa -4 but has since ticked up to a consensus of -5.5 at time of publishing. The Hawkeyes’ moneyline opened at -185 but that has fallen to the -200 to -220 range, while Nebraska has improved to +175 in many spots. The game total dropped at 39 points and has moved only slightly to 39.5.
