Iowa Sports Scene
While Iowa has no major professional sports teams, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones create intense college betting interest. The annual Cy-Hawk rivalry game is one of the most-bet college matchups in the Midwest. Caitlin Clark's rise has also boosted WNBA and women's basketball betting.
