Iowa Hawkeyes (+19.5): (-105)

 

• ESPN simulations have Michigan as 58.5% favorites to cover the spread.

• 65% of sports bets are currently on Michigan to win as (-1213) favorites.

• The line for this game is Michigan by 21.5 points.

• Michigan has dropped three straight games in Iowa City but hopes the meteoric rise of quarterback Wilton Speight, who set a program record for most passing yards in a first half with 292 against the Terrapins, can propel the Wolverines to their first road victory in the series since 2005.

• Iowa is heading in the wrong direction following a disappointing 41-14 loss to No. 10 Penn State. The Hawkeyes, who have failed to score more than 14 points in three of their last four contests, were held to a season-low 234 total yards and were completely outmatched from the get go as they hope to avoid their first three-game regular-season losing skid since 2012.

• Speight was named the Big Ten co-Offensive Player of the Week after completing 19-of-24 passes for a career-high 362 yards and two touchdowns in the lopsided win against Maryland

• Starting running back LeShun Daniels Jr. was held to 18 yards on 10 carries in the loss to Penn State, and has rushed for over 100 yards only once in his last seven games while Akrum Wadley managed just 28 yards on nine attempts against the Nittany Lions.

• Four of the last five meetings in Iowa City have been decided by three points or fewer.
