Michigan comes off its biggest and most emotional victory in more than a decade as it finally beat Ohio State after losing to the Buckeyes eight times in a row. Now the Wolverines have to somehow turn their attention to Iowa in the Big 10 championship game without experiencing a letdown. The Hawkeyes are no slouch themselves as they are 10-2 and winners of four straight, including 28-21 at Nebraska on Friday while outscoring the Cornhuskers 19-0 in the fourth quarter. Tyler Goodson ran for 156 yards on 6.0 per carry and he has accumulated 488 rushing yards his last four games. Iowa is well-coached with Kirk Ferentz in his 23rd year at the helm and the Hawkeyes are 4-0-1 ATS their last five December games and 5-1-1 ATS their past seven games as underdogs. The Wolverines are 1-4 ATS their last five neutral-site games and 0-4 ATS in December. Michigan has allowed 17.2 points per game, but Iowa counters with giving up 17.3 and both teams have similar numbers in total yards allowed. Take the points with Iowa.

Iowa at Michigan
12:00 PM Eastern
The Big 10 has played physical defense for decades and here we have an old-fashioned defensive slugfest on tap. Unbeaten Iowa is fifth in the country in total yards allowed (251 per game), #10 in rush defense, third in points allowed (8.5 per game). Michigan has struggled to run the football, ranked #94 in rushing yards. They scored only 14 points in a loss to Wisconsin and needed two overtimes to score 24 points on Army. When these teams last met it was a 14-13 final and this shapes up as a similar Big 10 defensive duel. Play the UNDER.
