The Music City Bowl takes center stage Monday between Iowa and Missouri. The betting spread fits not one but two PRO Systems with active winning percentages of 57% and 62%!
Those two bowl-only betting models selected the same side when the Hawkeyes meet the Tigers for a 2:30 p.m. ET kick.
Monday’s Iowa vs. Missouri college football line is one of the shortest of the entire bowl season. Missouri is -2.5 in the Music City Bowl. The over/under reflects a low-scoring game with a total of 40.5.
Iowa went 6-5-1 against the spread during the regular season and 9-3 to the over.
Meanwhile, Missouri finished 8-4 ATS, cashing more unders than overs.
Here’s an inside peek at sharp betting insights and sleek betting data for the Music City Bowl.
Bowl Games Monday: Data-Fueled Iowa vs Missouri Prediction
The backtested PRO Systems live with the same Iowa vs. Missouri prediction are titled “Bowl Game Bet Against in Close Game” and “Bowl Season Betting Against.” Both, as the labels display, hinge on betting against the public when a bowl spread and over/under, as well as the tickets vs. money, fit in certain ranges.
The Music City Bowl line and total are a direct hit.
Monday’s bowl game favors the Iowa Hawkeyes to cover if we use PRO Systems.
The first trend, “Bowl Game Bet Against in Close Game,” shows that bowl teams attracting 33% of tickets or less in Action PRO public betting logs, when the spread is 1-6.5, have covered 62% of the time since tracking started.

The second model shows that bowl underdogs, with a total lower than 54.5, cover 57% of the time if less than 40% of tickets back the ‘dog.
Iowa’s only getting 28% of tickets, which means the Hawkeyes fit both angles perfectly.
