Point Spreads For Big Ten Games in Week 6, Including Big Showdown at Iowa

It's a tiny point spread for the epic showdown between Iowa and Penn State, as the two unbeatens hook up in Iowa City in the best game of the week in the Big Ten in Week 6. Here are the opening lines, plus game times and TV information.

For the first five weeks of this college football season, the two teams in the Big Ten who just keep looking better and better are the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Penn State Nittany Lions. But now, something's got to give.

On Saturday in Iowa City, the two unbeatens get together, and it should be a doozy. Both have two signature wins over ranked teams so far, and both cruised to impressive wins last week to move to 5-0. Iowa is currently ranked No. 3 in the country, with Penn State a tick behind at No. 4.

It's clearly the highlight of Week 6 in the Big Ten, which has a relatively light schedule. There are just five games on the docket, all conference showdowns, with Indiana, Purdue, Northwestern and Minnesota all are on a bye week.

Here are the opening point spreads for the Big Ten games in Week 6, with game times and TV as well.
