Predict the Score - Be the Envy of the MgoWorld

Mates,
If you're like me you have finished one of the least productive work weeks of your life today.  The still-sweet joy of last Saturday remains.  The excitement of another game that, if won, leads to the CFP is right on our doorstep.  And while Iowa is no 'trash team', if you look at the metrics, strength of schedule, our momentum and what happened last week, well, let's just say 'Look out Iowa'.  Maybe your thoughts on this game are somewhere between a nearly vanquished BPONE epidemic and the kind of overconfidence that those ohio fans had (sad red faces go here), but its hard to stop your heart beating fast with excitement about tomorrow.  

I think the team will not only shrug off the 'let down' possibility, but also have such a dynamite energy and enthusiasm that tomorrow's game should go well for us, very well.   I think this is happening tomorrow, minus the snow:

All that to say, time to guess the score.  I'd even ask the 'Win will cause me/Loss will cause me' question but I don't want to step on anyone's posting toes.  

So here it is: Guess the score to tomorrow's game.  

And yeah, Go Blue!!

42-13 Michigan. We get three interceptions. Hutchinson gets to play on offense for one snap as an eligible receiver. Haskins gets to play defense for one snap. He hurdles a blocker to get to the quarterback.

Michigan 38-9 

Michigan is better than Iowa ,..at Iowas strengths !

Iowa is known for its secondary play and special teams, Michigan has the #2 rated secondary and #1 rated special teams in college football (according to PFF)

Iowa has given up the 2nd most sacks in BIG10 .given up the most QB pressures and is dead last in negative plays allowed in the BIG10 .  Iowa defense is 11th in sacks, and 8th in tackles for loss (BIG 10) ..Michigan is 2nd in sacks ,1st in tackles for loss and 2nd in QB pressures in the BIG10 

Iowa is 3rd nationally in forcing turnovers ....Michigan is #1 in Power 5 in least amount of turnovers 

This is a very bad matchup for Iowa

I don't see Iowa stopping our balanced offensive attack. It could be close during the 1st QTR but then our OL will wear down their D.

Michigan 52 - Iowa 23.
