Iowa has been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 4 straight and they have won all of those games by double digits. Their last loss actually came against this same Michigan team just a few weeks ago and they lost that game at home, they will surely be looking for their revenge in this game. Michigan has also been playing well in their recent games winning 2 of their last 3 and they have been good at home this season with a 10-4 record there. Iowa did not lose to Michigan that long ago and that loss is still fresh in their minds as it was their last loss. Iowa will be trying hard to win this game and get their revenge but Michigan has also been playing well. This will be a close game but Iowa has been playing much better and have been gaining a lot of steam in their games recently. Iowa should get the win on the road here by just a few points.
