Iowa’s Cade McNamara is out for the remainder of the season. The Hawkeyes have already struggled on offense, averaging 21.8 points per game. Wisconsin is averaging 31.4 points per game and over 410 yards of total offense. The Badgers should eventually find success on the ground despite Iowa having an above-average defense.

Yes, Iowa has the sorriest offense in the Power Five leagues. Yes, its defense is heroic given the lack of support. Yes, swirling winds could impact placekicking. Yet any Over with such a minuscule total is worth considering. Wisconsin has swayed from its run-first approach and is now 50-50 on run-pass with a more up-tempo offense. The Badgers' defense has retreated from past seasons. Perhaps wishful thinking here, but Hawkeyes QB Deacon Hill might be more at ease in his third start after two abysmal performances. Give us five TDs, along with successful PATs, and the Over is reached.
