Here Iowa's first chance against a good team since they were beat down by Ohio State. This looks like a different Hawkeye team right now, dominating opponents. Teams outgaining their opponents by 1.2+ yards-per-play facing an average team after a dominating performance hit at about 80% against the spread. Iowa is 13-2 ATS at home over the last 3 seasons including 8-1 vs. conference foes and they've covered the number 8 of the last 9 times against the Wolverines!. It took everything the Wolverines had to eek out a home win over Penn State last weekend. They left a lot on the field and now must go on the road against a tough, tough opponent. Michigan isn't nearly as good as years past. This sets up very nicely for the home Hawkeyes here. Iowa is 4-0 winning by an average score of 44-12 at home this season. Five stars on Iowa in our game of the month as I see the Hawkeyes winning by at least a touchdown.

5 units on Iowa -2.5 (-110) (risk 5 to return 9.55)
