The betting odds opened at an astonishing 21.5-point spread in favor of the Michigan Wolverines over the Hawkeyes, which then increased to 23 points. This seems excessively high, especially considering the low total points expected in the game, initially set at 34.5 and later adjusted to 35.5. Such odds reflect a general undervaluation of Iowa’s potential, especially in a game where scoring might be at a premium.
The Hawkeyes, with a record of 10-2, have shown that they are more than capable of holding their own in the competitive arena of college football. Their defense has been on another level all season long.

As the season winds down, Iowa has the opportunity to disrupt the narrative and showcase why they should never be taken for granted in the fiercely competitive world of college football.
