Michigan Wolverines vs. Iowa Hawkeyes Betting Preview
Throughout the season, the Wolverines have been a force, facing only a minor test in Week 13 against Ohio State. Their near perfection is evident in a series of double-digit victories, contributing to an average of 37.6 points per game. Michigan’s defense stands as the nation’s best, giving up just 10.3 points per game, with opponents reaching double digits in just five matchups.
Quarterback J.J. McCarthy has led the offense, accumulating nearly 2,500 passing yards and 19 touchdowns. Receiver Roman Wilson has been a key target, with 658 yards and 11 touchdowns. Running back Blake Corum leads College Football with 22 touchdowns, needing 24 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark on the ground.
In the recent win over Ohio State, Corum contributed a touchdown to get the Wolverines on the board, and they scored in each quarter, securing the victory over their longstanding rivals.
Under Coach Ferentz’s guidance, the Hawkeyes have embraced their role as underdogs, rebounding from early-season setbacks to secure a spot in the championship game. Their defense has been evident in the last four games, where they allowed a mere 30 points.
Despite a lower-scoring offense (18 points per game), Iowa compensates with a great defense, conceding just 12.2 points per game. Running back Leshon Williams, with nearly 800 yards, has been a consistent performer but has recorded only one touchdown throughout the season.
In the recent win against Nebraska, the Hawkeyes scored 10 second-quarter points and added a go-ahead field goal with 0:04 to go in the game to seal the deal. Deacon Hill, the quarterback, finished with just 94 yards in the game.
