Best bet: Minnesota Golden Gophers moneyline given current prices.
Market prices make Iowa a heavy favorite (1.29 decimal, ~77.5% implied). Research consensus favors Iowa, but multiple previews note Minnesota's improved offense, recent success in Iowa City, and that both teams are similar in record (5-2). We estimate Minnesota's true win probability at 30.5% (0.305). At the current away moneyline of 3.55 this produces positive edge: EV = 0.305 * 3.55 - 1 = +0.083 (8.3% ROI). The break-even probability for the 3.55 price is ~28.17%; our model assigns Minnesota a better chance than that because (1) offensive improvements narrow the matchup gap, (2) Minnesota has recent success in Iowa City which reduces home-field edge, and (3) the market is pricing Iowa as a touchdown favorite which slightly compresses value on the dog. Given these factors the away moneyline offers value versus the implied market price on the home side.
Summary: We find value on Minnesota at 3.55 because we estimate their true win probability (~30.5%) exceeds the market's break-even threshold (~28.2%), producing ~8.3% ROI.
