Iowa 6, MICHIGAN 20 (4th quarter)
Iowa needs a win badly. It's clear they have been preparing for this one for 2 weeks.

Iowa kicker Kyle Schlicher, who missed two field-goal attempts in a stunning 31-28 loss to Indiana, greeted reporters with a smile Tuesday afternoon.
"Do your damage," he said. "I've been preparing for this since the game."
The mood was understandably dour south of the border this week after the Hawkeyes dropped to 2-2 in the Big Ten. Iowa fell out of the Big Ten title race with its second loss in three weeks, and oh yeah, did we mention the Hawkeyes play at Michigan on Saturday?
"We're 5-2, and it feels like the roof fell in," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "But that's what happens when you don't play as well as you're supposed to play."
Ferentz said his team didn't perform well in any area. The Hawkeyes had crucial turnovers, dropped passes, bad penalties ...
Now, their streak of four consecutive New Year's Day bowl games is in jeopardy, and fans are restless. "When we lose, everyone hates us," Schlicher said. "When we win, everyone loves us. I think after, especially, an unexpected big loss like this everyone on the team kind of feels like they're in the doghouse, and the coaches as well."

Here is a tasty nugget to chew on when considering your Vbet for this game. In the last 9 games against the spread vs Michigan, Iowa is 7-1-1.
This will be a tight ballgame, I've just got a feeling that this is Iowa's season......and they'll put everything on the line for this one. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see an upset here.
