Iowa vs Washington Prediction 

Iowa comes into this matchup on a four game winning streak and they have allowed 66 points or fewer in three of those four wins. The Hawkeyes are shooting 51% from the field, but did have close calls against USC and Rutgers recently. Washington has won two of their last three games and they are shooting 45% from the field. The Huskies have allowed at least 75 points in three of their last five games and I don’t think their defense is good enough to match Iowa’s defensive unit. Take the Hawkeyes here.
