Betting Trend: Kirk Ferentz is 15-5-1 ATS at home as an underdog or favorite of less than a TD following a loss, covering by nearly eight PPG on average.
The Huskies travel back East after a rousing home win over Michigan following a trip to New Jersey to face Rutgers. This is a challenging situational spot for Washington and the troubles don't stop there. Iowa has a passing offense with a pulse this year, as Cade McNamara brings balance to a Hawkeyes offense that features one of the nation's best running backs in Kaleb Johnson (97 carries for 771 yards and ten scores). He should have a few explosive runs against a Huskies defense that is well below average in Rush Success Rate and EPA per Rush.
The Hawkeyes also have the advantage on special teams, and they're much more disciplined than the Huskies. Iowa has a reliable punting and kicking game, while Washington kicker Grady Gross has made just 9-of-15 attempts, botching three FGs in a close loss to the Scarlet Knights. He also missed a chip shot and a long field goal last week. The home team ranks 1st nationally in penalty yards per game, while Washington averages over 70 penalty yards per game.
