WIS @ IOWA Picks
NCAAF PicksIowa loves to get off to a fast start in the first half before slowing things down with a lead in the second. If the Hawkeyes can move the ball downfield consistently, they should have opportunities to score multiple times before halftime. Meanwhile, Iowa's defense, which allows just 7.2 points per first half (tied for seventh fewest nationally), should be able to contain a much slower Wisconsin offense.
PUNTS ARE FUN!! Both Iowa and Wisconsin rank among the top 20 in yards allowed per game and allow fewer than 16 points per contest. Iowa's stout run defense and third-down efficiency should make life difficult for the Badgers, while Wisconsin's pass defense presents another challenge. Expect a defensive battle with points at a premium and plenty of punts.
Iowa returns to Kinnick Stadium after a frustrating 13-10 loss to Minnesota, where four turnovers cost the Hawkeyes despite outgaining the Golden Gophers by nearly 80 yards. With home-field advantage and a chance to clean up those mistakes, Iowa has an opportunity to bounce back against a Wisconsin team riding high after a big win over No. 16 USC.
The Hawkeyes should come out swinging, build an early lead and suffocate Wisconsin's offense. With both defenses boasting plenty of talent, this game could turn into an all-out rock fight from start to finish. I'll combine Iowa -3.5, first-half -2.5 and the Under 37.5 for a fun 5.096x sweat!
