I like Michigan + 7 1/2 points here. I know that Michigan lost to Michigan State, but they were down 14 in the 4TH qtr & made a great comeback to send the game into OT. Their is no quit in this Michigan team. As for Iowa, I know that they are unbeaten & beat Penn St at Happy Valley, BUT just about lost at home to N. Iowa (Thanks to 2 blocked FG's in the last second) & barely beating Arkansas State which was also a home game for Iowa. So, I don't know what Iowa team is going to show up? I will say Michigan in an UPSET!!!

Final score:  Michigan 24  Iowa 21

the arkansas st game was a trap game, and the uni game was a wake up call...it seems that iowa tends to play to its level of competition and gets up for big games!hopefully another saturday night game will get them up again....

once again take iowa...homecoming in iowa city night game people will be hammered and ready to get crazy.  They are calling for a black out and everyone has been waiting for this game since the beginning of the year.  If Michigan would have won last weekend it was possible GAMEDAY might have been in Iowa Ciy.  (ABC is covering florida LSU) People are excited as hell and Iowa's defense won't let Michigan score more then 13 points all game.  Stanzi knows that the key to winning is game management and no mistakes...i know very cliche' but look what happened when he didn't take care of the ball and went outside the game plan of what was set forth.  Pick 6 and their only up by 1 touchdown..Iowa was up 2 td's and about ready to score again when the int hapened and that brought them back to earth.. one play changed it from up 21 to only a td.  Iowa plays to their competition is right.  Yet we have one of the best winning %'s at home ....iowa by 10

Louisville - Blackout lost

Penn State - Whiteout lost

Do I even mention Georgia against Alabama last year?  Whatever "outs" you see are the biggest crock of shit in football.  I think I may start fading "outs."

Mich +8 and the public is pounding them  I figure this would be 3-4 point line. 8? Seems fishy

Give me Michigan please....always an underdogs game...I'll take Forcier over whoever Qb's for Iowa anyday. They can have a Red, Black, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Rainbow Out for all I care.


Who actually wins those "out" games? At least it was original when Georgia did it. Another black-out game...calls for another home teams funeral. ML doesn't look to bad either

Original when Georgia did it?  Correction -- it started at Penn State in 2005, when they beat Ohio State 10-7.  This was the first year the white-out game resulted in a loss, and the steady rain helped offset the crowd.  All the other schools are imitators.  Fade it if you want, I could care less.  But there is a reason the Penn State home experience has been called "the greatest show in college football" and the white out is part of it.   It rocks!

BTW I am tempted to take Michigan here as well, but Iowa is clearly the better team.  Really hard to put my money on any outcome that can be determined by DickRod.

How is Iowa clearly the better team?  The squeaked by N. Iowa and Ark St and beat up on crappy Iowa St and Arizona.  I'll give them the win at PSU but without the rain, the outcome may very well be different.  I am lean on Michigan.

danstyk...thats for the correction..i didn't know penn state has been doing the "white-out"..

I think if it was that effective then more teams would use it for every big game at home. Its been on rare occasions teams use it, and for some reason it has been used 3 or 4 times this year correct? I know penn state, iowa, and la tech...and im sure georgia will use it sometime this year huh?

"outs" dont really help anything in my opinion. Home games naturally get a crowd into a game, and if a certain "color-out" is what it takes to get a crowd pumped then its gonna eventually stop. Look at LSU and Florida, never heard them use an "out" and those places are DEATHLY scary for home games, being gator or tiger bait are two things you never wanna hear.

This is all an opinion of course.

I believe the value here is with Michigan, thier loss coupled with Iowa's over truly overrated penn st, is setting the line high.

One local line i have is 8.5, I'm not going to sit here and tell you who wins, just that I'm pretty certain that theres a signifigant chance of the final being within that number.....Isn't that whats handicapping all about?

Hoping for 27-24 final whoever wins.

Take the points!

Iowa did blackout for OSU a couple of years ago and lost.  Don't get me wrong Iowa is very good team but they are not a touchdown better than the Wolverines.

UofM plus the points,

Have had this matchup on the radar all season.
 
ARK St was clearly a look ahead game for Iowa and they almost got burned, but they get back to moving the ball and stopping the run this week.
 
Hawks -8

Here there is supposed to be some weather during the game. Plus if Iowa wins I believe it will be a low scoring affair like they did against Penn State.
 
Low scoring meanings a close game and a POSSIBLE under
 
Go Blue Maze! (Well only if you make my money)

This is one of only a few favs that I really like.  I'll take Iowa here at home against a very poor Mich defense and an offense that should struggle again against a very physical team.  Lay the points here.
