Why Iowa can cover
The Hawkeyes are coming off a 40-14 win over Northwestern where the defense was absolutely dominant. The Wildcats were only able to rush for 43 yards in the game and finished with 163 yards of total offense while turning the ball over three times.
Linebacker Jay Higgins had eight tackles and an interception for the Iowa defense while Kaleb Johnson led the way offensively. The star running back rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns in the victory, and he now leads the Big Ten in rushing yards (1,144) and rushing touchdowns (16). The Hawkeyes have covered the spread in this matchup the last two season. See which team to pick here.
Why Wisconsin can cover
Wisconsin is coming off a 28-13 loss to Penn State last week where Penn State controlled the line of scrimmage. The Nittany Lions rushed for 173 yards while limiting the Badgers to 81 rushing yards. Tawee Walker was limited to 59 yards after rushing for 324 yards in his previous two games but did score his 10th rushing touchdown of the season.
The Wisconsin defense is allowing only 18.9 points and 311.1 yards of offense per game and the Badgers will hope a stout unit on that side of the ball can wreak havoc on Iowa backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan. Cade McNamara is dealing with an undisclosed injury and was removed from the Iowa depth chart earlier in the week. See which team to pick here.
