Iowa vs. Michigan predictions
Line — Michigan -10.5
Mike Hlas — Urban Meyer is in Iowa City for Fox’s Big Noon pregame show. He got fired 13 games into a five-year contract at Jacksonville. Nice non-work if you can get it. Michigan 12, Iowa 10
John Steppe — Last week’s game at Rutgers was supposedly a sellout, just like how Nebraska has 300-some consecutive sellouts. I guess a lot of people were stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike. Michigan 24, Iowa 10
Jeff Johnson — Michigan Coach Jim Harbaugh always talked about his love of pizza from Sip N’ Stir in Cedar Rapids. I miss that place ... and that pizza. Michigan 24, Iowa 10
Rob Gray — Iowa’s offense must find creative ways to pierce the Maize and Blue’s defense. That’s unlikely, but the Wolverines won’t coast to 49 points like they did in last year’s Big Ten title game against the Hawkeyes. This one stays close, Michigan 20, Iowa 17
Beth Malicki — Dear Hawkeye friends, remember my betrothed chose Michigan to win and I’m too busy enjoying Amana’s Oktoberfest to respond to angry emails. Michigan 27, Iowa 13
Todd Brommelkamp — This makes no sense. None at all. To quote the great philosopher Vizzini it’s “inconceivable.” Iowa 20, Michigan 17
