Big Ten: No. 2 Michigan (-23.5) vs. No.16 Iowa (O/U 35.5)

Evan: Love, love, love, LOVE the Hawkeyes here. Their defense is absolutely no joke, and I honestly don’t think that Michigan will be able to move the ball enough to cover the spread if Iowa never scored a point. This one is going to be ugly for Michigan, I believe, and it’s going to make seeding the top four teams a bit more messy. Iowa +23.5

Justin: Michigan is going to win, but it’s disrespectful to the Under Kings of Iowa to make them 23.5-point favorites. Iowa +23.5

Ethan: This is going to be horrendous football to watch. Just absolutely ugly stuff. I think Michigan wins, but I’m not convinced they cover with how stingy Iowa’s defense is when it comes to giving up points. Iowa +23.5

John: Are we sure there are even 23.5 points scored in this game total? Iowa +23.5

Ryan: Michigan beats Iowa unmercifully in this one. Michigan -23.5

Andrew: Y’all remember when these teams played in this game 2 years ago? Y’all also remember what Penn State did to Iowa? Ok yeah, give me Michigan. Michigan -23.5
