Michigan Football vs Iowa: Injury report, live Stream, TV channel and betting preview

Michigan football can end its Big Ten championship drought on Saturday night against Iowa and here’s all the key info, including odds and how to watch. 

The Michigan football team has finally gotten to Indy. The punchline to that joke no longer works, but now it’s time to end another narrative for the Wolverines and win a Big Ten title.

Iowa won’t be easy though and no team at this level will be. Few college football teams actually get the opportunity to play for a championship as Michigan and Iowa do tonight.

The Wolverines are ranked second and are 11-1. Iowa comes in 10-2 and remember, was ranked second at one time this year too, so don’t sleep on Iowa for a second, especially with Kirk Ferentz at the helm.

Iowa makes you beat them. They play tough, solid, fundamental football. It’s not fancy but they have won 10 games for the second year in a row, so it works.

And the Hawkeyes, like Michigan football, haven’t won a title since the two programs shared the Big Ten championship in 2004.

Someone ends the drought tonight in Indy. Here’s all the key info.

Michigan football vs Iowa Injury report

The biggest news for the Hawkeyes is that quarterback Spencer Petras is healthy. He rallied Iowa in the second half against Nebraska last week and has been dealing with injuries.

On the Michigan side of things, Blake Corum is basically the only injury concern, outside of Ronnie Bell who has missed all season. The Wolverines are healthy (a relative term for a football team in December) and that’s a big positive heading into the Big Ten championship game.

Michigan football vs Iowa Odds and Betting Pick Championship Week

According to WynnBET’s odds for championship week, Michigan football is an 11-point favorite over the Hawkeyes in what should be an old-school Big Ten battle. The over/under is 43.

The odds have shifted slightly in Michigan’s favor, going up a half-point since Friday. The Wolverines are 10-2 against the spread this season and have won four in a row.

Iowa’s run defense is tough and the Hawkeyes will make Michigan work for yards. Petras is also good enough to make some throws and move the ball, as is Iowa back Tyler Goodson.

The Hawkeyes aren’t explosive but they don’t have to be. They have to muck this game up and find a way to win in the fourth quarter.

It’s a strategy that could be successful and I think it will be for a while. But Michigan is too talented and the Iowa offensive line, especially blocking on the edge, won’t be equipped to handle Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo.

Michigan wins 30-17.
