IOWA opened as 4 point favorite vs Washington. As of Thursday Morning: IOWA -3; O/U is 42.5

Hard to evaluate Washington, because Michigan is a mess right now.

That said, the most disappointing thing to me is the Iowa secondary. Schulte was never any good, X was either vastly overrated out of high school or is afraid of contact, Castro is having issues, so Harris is really the only one playing decent right now.
Could be awhile until a new staff is brought in to begin the rebuild.

I’m a UW season ticket holder since I moved to Washington from AZ 2.5 years ago (love CFB growing up in Iowa.)

Most fans here didn’t expect a bowl game. I think they’ve been a surprise from a talent standpoint but they have 0 discipline and the FG kicker has the yipps. They are also incredibly thin depth wise.

I’ve watched every game of both teams. I think Iowa wins 24-13. Go Hawks!
 
I think OSU is going to handle Oregon.
I THINK the Ducks phuque the Bucks (again) this time in Eugene. (Last week I predicted they would “rik-roll” Brutus)…After watching (Brutus) yesterday, I have changed my mind…..They (the Ducks) won’t “rik-roll’ Brutus, but they will win the game. tOSU is the better team but not next Saturday. That Oregon Stadium is the noisiest stadium one can play in. Very underrated as a “home venue” (AUTZEN STADIUM) but B10 exposure will change that shortly.

I think OSU wins by two TD.

Not so sure about the 2 TD difference but I think OSU wins by 7 as I'm not so sure Oregon can make all of that gimmicky BS work against a very talented and fast OSU defense. Should be a heck of a game but would not be surprised with an Oregon win. Both will be in the Playoffs

Ohio State looks like the most complete college team, with good depth, this year. The game being played in Oregon will certainly work to the Ducks advantage, but I still see a fairly comfortable O$U victory.

Oh, I’m thinking the Duck$ have the personnel to compete.
They do and it should be a heck of a game. I see this as a one score game but just don't see the gimmicky Oregon stuff working against a very solid OSU defense
 
Kinda interesting that Washington at IOWA is FOX's "Big Noon" kickoff game (11 a.m. CT)
Honestly, it's not that surprising. The other marquee games in the B1G are all being played out west, so those wouldn't qualify for Big Noon. The Iowa/Wash matchup is probably the best of what's left.

Not sure why the Hawks are favored. Hopefully they can pull out a win!
 
Iowa usually plays well the game following being embarrassed on Defense , The Offense will have the same problems if Washington employs the same tactics that OSU did especially in the 2nd half, safeties up and sending a LB to blow up plays early with no threat of the QB hurting them by escaping the backside or throwing over the top.

I got a bad feeling about this.

People have been ragging on UW dropping off all season, and preseason leading in. These are not scrub athletes. They have the chops to come in and beat Iowa, perhaps handily.

I think our best hope is that they continue to beat themselves with dumb penalties, bad plays at key moments, and inability to kick a FG. If they tighten up on the discipline front, be wary.

Johnson will run for 220 yards to make up for last week. Hawks by a million!
 
Their QB1 is very accurate. They’ve got a stable of good RBs and their WR appear solid. If QB1 struggles they won’t hesitate to put in their freshman QB who’s a dual threat.

What has killed WA are penalties. If they play a clean game, i think if they get more than 21 points they win
