Can IOWA score just one TD v MICH to cover that 22.5 ??

[homie1975]

I think they can.

I truly do.

Michigan in a very interesting situation after 2 straight very emotional, hard-fought games without their leader Jimmy Har-baw at Penn State and hosting Ohio St sandwiched by Maryland who damn near beat them.

Now they are heading to INDY north of 3 TD faves in a game they need only win by 1 point to make it to the college footies version of the final 4.

Iowa cannot move the ball for dog squat threw the air but they have some decent runners and a group of defenders who will knock the snot and slobber out of ya.

To boot, their special teams are quite sound.

This feels like a 27-10 type of affair.

IDK homie... Might be a stretch.
Michigan defense is pretty good. Iowa totals are 0.5 for each half.
Hawkeye defense may have a better chance at scoring then their offense.

FACT, not "MAY"

im taking Iowa team total OVER 0.5 for 1st half and then double or nothing on 2nd half if they don't score in 1st half

TIDBIT-
Although elite return man Dejean out for Iowa, the walk-on replacing him is fastest guy on team, just little experience............but he's a real threat to take any kickoff/punt to the house.

The B10 championship games have tended to be blowouts...expect the same here. Fast track, indoors favors team with best athletes.

indoors

Expect Iowa P Taylor to get off at least a couple 62+yd boots, flipping the field drastically for an oppurtunistic Iowa defense.

 

[RRsilver]

The defense may score. Could put them in a good position for a couple of field goals.

i like your points about indoors and fast track, but consider this:

there have been 12 big ten championship football games (2011 thru 2022 inclusive)

only 3 times has the margin of victory for the winner been by 22 points or more

Not so sure one Iowa touchdown will be enough for them to cover

Iowa very good D ...........

..........but one would expect Iowa to turn the ball over inside their own 40 minimum 2-3+ times against a stout Michigan D.

Agree with you 100%.
Iowa offense will set its defense up for failure once or twice during this game. Its unfortunate but true.

 

[homie1975]

the line is now widely available at 21.5 whereas when i posted it was widely at 22.5

i got a decent number.

do i have some followers perhaps moving the lines

(that's a joke)

Easy could be 31-7
