Free Betting Pick: Iowa Hawkeyes -4.5
The Iowa Hawkeyes have been inconsistent this season, but they are very good at home as they bring a 7-1 record into this matchup while the Wolverines are 0-4 on the road. The Hawkeyes have one of the top-scoring units in college basketball as they are averaging 79.3 PPG, and Michigan has underperformed on the defensive side of the court in conference play as they are allowing an average of 80.4 PPG. Iowa holds a major advantage in the paint with junior guard Luka Garza as he is averaging 22.3 PPG and 10.4 RPG, and I don’t think anyone outside of Jon Teske will have success against the 6’11 center. The Wolverines are still missing one of their top scorers in Isaiah Livers, and I don’t think they will be able to turn it around here. Final Score Prediction, Iowa Hawkeyes win and cover ATS 76-70.
