Drew Stevens is money After starting out 4-1 I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately going 2-5 to bring the overall bowl record to 6-6. Some were horrendous picks. The La Tech QB was terrible and inexplicably, the Bulldogs were still running the ball despite being down 27-0 at the half.
Some were WTF. Miami sits QB Cam Ward? And Bowling Green missing 3 FGs to miss the team total by 3.5
Time to get back on the winning track. Only one game on tap today
Iowa vs Missouri under 40.5 – Iowa has its usual top defense. The Hawkeyes were 9th in points allowed (17.1 PPG). The offense improved after years of being abysmal. It relied heavily on the run game as they were 131st in passing offense and 20th in rushing offense. But their best RB Kaleb Johnson is sitting this one out.
Missouri had a similarly tough defense finishing 20th overall in points allowed (20.1 PPG). Missouri was more balanced between running and passing but will be without star WR Luther Burden III who will be also sitting this one out.
I hate taking unders but this is the way to go with two top defenses playing against offense missing their best weapons.
Iowa does have the better special teams and Hawkeye kicker Drew Stevens is money. In the season finale against Nebraska he kicked a 53 yarder at the buzzer to beat the Huskers 13-10. Expect a similar score today.
