There was concern if Wisconsin's elite defense would hold up vs. the potent attack of Ohio State last week. The Badgers held Ohio State to 5.5 yards per play, so they certainly did. The fact is that Wisconsin has arguably played the toughest schedule in the country, having gone up against LSU, Michigan, Ohio State, and Michigan State, and only one team has scored more than 17 points on them. The issue of course is an offense that has really struggled to produce points. Wisconsin is averaging fewer than 20 points per game vs. power-5 conference teams. Iowa has not been much better, scoring just 14 against Rutgers, and Minnesota. It is hard to see a pair of teams that are very good defensively, but struggle to get to 20 points get this game into the 40s. Iowa's lack of offensive consistency over the years has left them at 36-19 to the UNDER after scoring 37 points or more in their previous game. Iowa is also 25-7 to the UNDER after covering their last game as a 10+ point favorite. The UNDER gets the nod in this one.
