Handicap Remaining Schedule

[JEDN]

I see a victory over the Illini on Saturday and with 6 remaining games:

1) 2 probable losses against Wisc and OSU

2) 2 home games against Minn and Purdue-Hawks should be slight favorites

3) 2 road games against NW and Neb- probably slight underdogs or even at best

As I see it best case is 8-4 but more likely 6-6 or 7-5.

Still think Iowa wins one they aren't expected to, and loses one that leaves us scratching our heads.

8-4 sounds about right though. No clue who the losses are and who the wins are. Could pretty much be anyone on the schedule.

Its usually at this point Iowa gets on a roll.

I only see 2 or 3 losses. OSU and either Wisc or Ne. Iowa is a sound, physical team.

7-5

7-5. The win one they shouldn't was missed with the psu loss. The lose one they shouldn't is still coming.

Maybe the win they shouldn't have gotten was ISU...

Lol you people have no patience. Wait until November.

Who the hell knows. Every season I think I know the team by now and, when I'm certain we're doomed, they run off a bunch of wins, or when I'm thinking "now we got it going" we tank a number of games including one to a basement dweller.

I don't even try to predict anymore. The only thing that's predictable is that most Iowa teams are not predictable.

Losses- OSU and Wisky
Wins- Illinois & Purdue
Toss-ups- Nebraska, Northwestern & Minnesota

8-4 if we win all of the toss ups (2 on the road)
7-5 if we win 2 of 3 toss ups.
6-6 if we win one of the toss ups.

Probably 7-5 which I predicted at the start of the season. Not a very satisfying season unless we win a decent bowl game.

Iowa has a solid team all around. You guys don't beat yourselves very often. Defense is physical and plays fast. Iowa just needs a big play guy on the outside to take the top off of the defense. I respect KF and admire the culture that Iowa has established. Looking forward to watching a great game in Lincoln.

I was thinking same thing. Assuming we beat Illinois going into bye at 4-2 I can easily see us going 4-2 on 2nd half of the season with us upsetting Wisconsin or OSU but dropping a game to jNW, Minny or Nebraska. But with this team and Iowa football in general who who knows.
