AP Ranked H2H Matchups
#19 Iowa (5-2) vs #25 Wisconson (2-2)
Spread: WIS -2, IOWA +2 Total: 41.5 Iowa put together a simply magnificent second half of football last week against Illinois to win their fifth straight contest. First-year starting QB Spencer Petras had his best game of the season, as the redshirt sophomore completed 18 of 28 passes for 220 yards and three TDs. This allowed the pressure to be taken off the Hawkeyes running game and stretched the field for Iowa.
On the other hand, Wisconson has looked dreadful offensively since their dominant win against Illinois in their first week of the season. The Badgers have managed just 13 points over the last two weeks of football, with Indiana completely shutting them out of the endzone last weekend. Wisconson's defense is still very good, and will likely keep this game close. I envision a classic pound-the-rock type of Big 10 battle, and for that, I give the advantage to the home team.
Prediction: IOWA +2, O41.5
#9 Miami (8-1) vs. #20 North Carolina (7-3)
Spread: MIA -3.5, NC +3.5 Total: 67.5 This is going to be the exact opposite of the above game, where both of these teams will be laying tons of points on the board. It will come down to whose defense decides they want to show up. Miami's defense has been really good at times, including a 48-0 shutout of the Duke Blue Devils last week. The problem is that they have been gashed too often, with shootout wins over Louisville (47-34) and NC State (44-41) that lay doubt as to whether they are actually any good. If Tar Heels QB Sam Howell can come anywhere close to his 550 yards and 6 TD performance against Wake Forrest, North Carolina is more than capable of pulling off the massive upset. This is going to be a high-scoring affair, and I like the Tar Heels to win outright. Prediction: NC +3.5, O67.5 https://youtu.be/c67LA7pq9H4$1,000 Deposit Bonus
