Wisconsin and No. 9 Iowa are set for a classic Big Ten battle on Saturday morning.
The total for the game sits at 36.5, a lower number than Wisconsin had in contests against Army and Purdue.
It makes sense, though. The teams are mirror images of each other: stout defenses, inefficient offenses and team mentalities that the defense will be the thing to win the football game.

There’s obviously a few glaring differences in the two teams’ records (Iowa: 6-1, Wisconsin: 4-3) and each team’s ability to hold on to the football (more on that below).
So, to handicap this contest and see where the game will be won or lost, I looked at which team has the advantage in each critical area of the game.
