Oregon vs Iowa Prediction 

Iowa comes into this matchup looking to extend their three game winning streak and they will be at home, where it is never easy to defeat them. The Hawkeyes are a very solid defensive team and they also run the ball pretty well, but the passing game is not good. Oregon was very sloppy in their last game against Wisconsin, but their defense should shut down Iowa, as they don’t really have to worry about their passing attack. Oregon is the way better team in this matchup and I expect a much better effort from them. Take the Ducks to cover.
