Iowa vs Michigan

The 14th ranked 4-0 Iowa Hawkeyes go to Ann Arbor this Saturday to take on the 19th ranked 3-1 Michigan Wolverines in what should be a Big Ten battle. The Hawkeyes are looking to go 5-0 and have won 5 of the last 6 meetings vs Michigan and are coming off 4 straight games winning by an average of 28 points. Nate Stanley has 8 touchdowns and 0 interceptions this season and hasn't thrown an interception in his last 136 attempts going back to last season. Iowa also as a team has not turned the ball over yet this season. Michigan on the other hand has been forced to stick with Shea Patterson and abandon their two quarterbacks system due to injury to Dylan McCaffrey and their offense of line has played poorly at times. The wolverines got beaten badly by Wisconsin 35 -14 two weeks ago and looked out of sync and outmatched but they came back last week with a 52-0 drubbing of Rutgers which should give them well needed confidence. With all this being said we think that Iowa is playing their first true road game leaving the state of Iowa for the first time and going into The Big House where it should be rocking. This will be first ever game for Iowa QB Nate Stanley in Ann Arbor. We think this game is going to come down to the Wolverine Offensive Line but most importantly we think a big performance by the O line will leep Shea Patterson upright where he can be a very effective quarterback and also allow offensive coordinator Josh Gattis take advantage of a healthy and recharge Zach Charbonnet and the rest of the backs and if the Offensive line does their job like we are expecting them to we expect a good game and big contribution from stud wide receiver Nico Collins We think this might be the beginning of an upward trajectory for Shea Patterson and the Michigan Wolverines and like Michigan to win. The Pick. Michigan -3
