T.M. Selection: Iowa.

I like Iowa to cover the spread against Purdue on Saturday. Iowa has been having a very good season this year. They are ranked 2nd in the country after taking down Penn State last week and they really had to dig in their heels and make a strong comeback in that game. Their defense showed up when they needed to in that Penn State game and their defense has really been performing at a high level all year. They have always been known for their good defense but now their offense is starting to catch up too. They only put up 23 on a good Penn State with a good defense too but in the game before that one they thrashed Maryland 51-14. Purdue does not have a very strong offense at all and they will be lucky if they can get through this Iowa defense. Purdue has put up 13 points in each of their last 3 games, nothing more and nothing less. Iowa has already proven that they can stop a team like Purdue from scoring and put up a ton of points on them. I think that Iowa is going to blow them out here, especially now that they are ranked 2nd they will want to do anything they can to keep their rank. I like Iowa to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 37-10 Iowa.
