Iowa (5-2) vs Wisconsin (2-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Wisconsin Will Win

The Wisconsin defense continues to be special.

The Badgers lead the the nation in total defense by a relative mile – allowing just 229 yards per game – run defense, third down defense, and time of possession. They’re holding he ball a whopping 3:18 a game more than the No. 2 team in time of possession, Rice.

Iowa passing game is okay, but nothing special. It doesn’t have to run to win, but it has to be at least decent, and it has to do something to control the clock – it’s going to lose the time battle by at least ten minutes.

Worst of all for the Hawkeyes, they’re awful on third downs, and now they have to deal with that D that allowed teams to covert just 24% of the time.

– Week 15 College Schedule

Why Iowa Will Win

The Wisconsin offense continues to be awful.

Most of the top wide receivers are banged up, the running game can’t get going – it ran for 140 yards or fewer in back-to-back games for the first time since early in the 2016 season – and the team just can’t score.

The offense hasn’t stalled, but it can’t put the biscuit in the basket. The last time the program failed to score more than seven points in back-to-back games was in early November of 1991.

Iowa hasn’t been spectacular, but it’s been rock-solid with great line play – it’s Iowa – a good turnover margin, and enough of an offensive balance to be fine. It’s a formula team that isn’t going to be great in shootouts, but handles itself well in tough battles.

Welcome to the Wisconsin game.

– CFN Experts Picks: Week 15

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be a low-scoring battle with neither team able to establish anything throughout the game. However, Wisconsin is stalling way too much.

It’s a simple problem. Defenses are loading up against a running game that’s missing a Jonathan Taylor-type of back, Graham Mertz doesn’t have the top targets to throw to and hesitates a bit too much, and the whole thing has come to a stop.

The offense will get creative, but it won’t work well enough. Iowa will have to live off of several Keith Duncan field goals, but it’ll come up with a strong, tough home win.

Iowa (4-2) vs Illinois (2-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Iowa Will Win

Iowa is doing it by being Iowa.

The offensive line is doing a great job in pass protection, the defense has cranked it up, and the results are coming with four straight wins.

The defensive front is great at getting into the backfield on a regular basis, the takeaways are coming, and it’s all getting help from a running game that’s good enough.

It got stopped too often last week against Nebraska, but it has been good enough to control games and keep things at the pace the program is used to. Illinois doesn’t have the offense and it’s struggling too much on third downs to win the time of possession battle or get the ground game going.

– Week 14 College Schedule

Why Illinois Will Win

Iowa doesn’t have enough of a passing game.

It rebounded after two lousy games against Michigan State and Minnesota – Spencer Petras was more accurate and the offense moved a bit better against Penn State, and then with 193 yards against Nebraska – but it’s still not anything to worry too much about.

Illinois has gone on the road in its last two games and run and run some more. Sophomore Chase Brown has been a find, tearing off 131 yards against Rutgers and 110 yards and two scores against Nebraska, and Brandon Peters is back.

The veteran quarterback hit 72% of his passes for 205 yards and a score against the Huskers, and if he can balance things out just a bit, and the team can keep winning the turnover margin, this could be interesting.

– CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Illinois is playing well enough to pull this off, but it needs to come up with a few key takeaways and it has to hold up on the lines – neither will happen.

The Iowa run defense is too strong, the O line will take over as the game goes on, and neither passing attack will be anything special.

It’ll be another grinding win for a hot Hawkeye team.

Iowa (3-2) vs Nebraska (1-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Nebraska Will Win

The running game is working.

There might be a whole slew of issues with the Huskers in their 1-3 start, but after hitting the 200-yard rushing mark five times last year, it’s been able to hit the mark in three of the first four games. It’s all coming from the quarterbacks, but at least it’s moving.

Iowa might be playing well, but the passing game still isn’t quite right. Spencer Petras is only hitting 56% of his passes with three touchdowns and four picks – Iowa has the Big Ten’s least-efficient passing game.

If the Husker run defense is able to hold up and generate third down stops, the team will be in this. However …

Why Iowa Will Win

The next meaningful Nebraska third down stop will be the first one – at least, that’s how it’ll feel.

What’s going wrong for the Huskers? Start with the issues on third downs.

Nebraska is dead last in the Big Ten in third down stops – allowing teams to connect on a whopping 54% of their chances – and it’s dead last at converting, too, hitting at a mere 32% clip.

Iowa is doing a great job of forcing takeaways, the pass defense has been a rock, and the pass rush is terrific. The Hawkeye defensive front should own an okay but inconsistent Husker offensive front.

What’s Going To Happen

Iowa is in a good groove.

The defense has yet to allow more than 145 rushing yards, and the Huskers don’t have the passing game to keep things moving when their ground attack stalls.

It’ll be a spirited effort by Nebraska, and the offense will come up with two sharp drives that makes it look like everything is about to roll, but Iowa will win the turnover battle, run for over 200 yards, and will control the game in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Iowa (2-2) vs Penn State (0-4) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM

Why Iowa Will Win

The running game is rocking.

The Hawkeye passing attack has been a bit of a problem, and there wasn’t any ground attack against Northwestern, but everything worked just fine against Michigan State and Minnesota over the last two weeks.

It’s no coincidence that the offensive line kicked it all in, the rushing attack ran for 226 yards against the Spartans and 235 against the Gophers, and the Hawkeyes won those two by a combined score of 84-14.

Iowa’s O line is strong in pass protection, there aren’t a lot of giveaways, and the team is starting to look the part again.

Why Penn State Will Win

The defense hasn’t been the problem.

There were issues against Ohio State – no shame there – and in the final two minutes against Indiana, but it’s been solid against the run and held Nebraska to under 300 yards.

The Iowa passing attack hasn’t been anything special, with Spencer Petras only hitting 53% of his passes, nothing down the filed, with with just three touchdown throws.

As long as Penn State is able hold on up front – it’s giving up 130 rising yards per game – and the team is doing a much, much better job than Iowa is of controlling the clock.

What’s Going To Happen

Yeah, Penn State is 0-4, but that’s more about not getting any breaks than it is the team being awful.

Injures at running back, the bad call on the final play of the Indiana game, and -3 in turnover margin at Maryland were all …

Yeah, the good teams make their own good fortune.

The Nittany Lions are playing around with their quarterback situation, the passing game isn’t good enough overall, and Iowa appears to have found its mojo.

It’s going to be a battle – Iowa really can’t throw – but the lines are making up for the other issues.

Iowa (1-2) vs Minnesota (1-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM

Why Iowa Will Win

Start running, keep running, and then run some more.

It took a few games to get everything up to speed, but even though it ran for 195 yards and two scores and averaged well over five yards per carry against Purdue, everything really kicked in against Michigan State.

The Hawkeyes went with what they do, got a huge day out of the offensive line, and they rocked the Spartans for 226 yards and four scores, controlling the game throughout.

Minnesota’s run defense hasn’t been powered on as much as it’s been run through against Michigan and Maryland, and gave up 181 yards to a relatively punchless Illinois.

Why Minnesota Will Win

Iowa is getting yards out of Spencer Petras and the passing attack, but he’s not accurate enough – hitting only 54% with three interceptions and just two touchdown passes – and it’s been a killer to keep things moving.

The Hawkeye offense was a rock over the last two seasons on third downs – early rolling for over 40% conversion rates on a regular basis – and this year, Petras and the offense aren’t clicking to keep things moving only converting 33% of the time.

On the flip side, for all of the problems Minnesota has had, the team is moving the chains and it’s dominating the time of possession battle.

Overall the offense is working. It just needs its defense to hold up.

– CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams were able to finally get their respective seasons going last week with dominant wins, but which one was more real? Minnesota’s offense has been fine throughout the season, but it needs the defense to stiffen against a decent offense.

It’ll happen this week.

The Gopher run D had a slew of issues against Michigan and Maryland, but both teams got big games on the ground out of their quarterbacks. Spencer Petras isn’t going to take off enough to be a problem, and he won’t be sharp enough with the passing attack.
