Iowa has won and covered the last two meetings with Michigan and Michigan comes in with a losing record at 4-5. Iowa isn’t much better either at 5-4 and has lost all three away games, but they’re solid at home at 4-0. And while both teams will run fast, Iowa gets the edge because of a home court. Michigan has lost three straight and five of six coming in. Iowa to cover.
