Playoff implications will be all over the place when Iowa and Michigan State clash in the Big Ten Championship Game this Saturday night in Indianapolis. Even though Iowa is 12-0 on the season, while Michigan State is 11-1, the Spartans are still four-point favorites.
Running back Jordan Canzeri galloped for 140 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 68-yard score in the fourth quarter. Over the game’s last period and a half, the Hawkeye defense limited Nebraska to just a field goal, so the Hawkeyes ended up not just winning but also covering. Iowa does their dominating on the ground, having outrushed 11 of their 12 opponents this year by an average margin of 95 yards.

Why should you take Iowa to cover (if not win)?
Iowa and Clemson are the two remaining unbeaten teams in FBS football, as Iowa beat Nebraska 28-20 last week. Iowa punched it into the end zone on the game’s first drive and never looked back, holding leads of 21-10 and 28-17 during the game, enjoying four turnovers from the Huskers.
