PREDICTIONS

Marc Morehouse: Three scary movies you should see for Halloween: 1) The Princess Bride, 2) Shakes the Clown and 3) Lady Gaga. Iowa 27, Maryland 17

Mike Hlas: Maryland's stadium is 10 miles from the White House. Iowa's is 10 miles from the Bluebird Café in North Liberty. One has nuclear launch codes. The other has an omelet called the Krakatoa that it calls 'deliciously volatile!' Iowa 35, Maryland 21

Scott Dochterman: What this series really needs is a title sponsor or a traveling trophy. Maybe a can of Turtle Wax Performance Plus will suffice on both accounts. Iowa 34, Maryland 13

Scott Saville: A healthy C.J. Beathard will pick apart the blitzing Maryland defense. Iowa 31, Maryland 16Beth Malicki: This is my annual disclosure where I remind the world that my husband is the brains behind my picks, I'm just here to supply the the sentences of nonsense. Iowa 31, Maryland 7

Bob Brooks: Terps visit Iowa City for the first time and the Hawks, after a bye week, are refreshed and ready to continue their perfect season. Iowa 35, Maryland 14
