Minnesota vs. Iowa prediction: Bet on Hawkeyes' defense

Iowa's defense is ranked sixth in the country, but it's also one of the best in college football. Minnesota's offense is unlikely to be at full strength against Iowa's defensive unit. The Golden Gophers won't have quarterback Tanner Morgan for the second straight game. Minnesota beat Northwestern last week without him.

Minnesota's offense will have a tough time against Iowa's defense. Iowa ranks seventh in rushing yards allowed per game (94.8) and second in yards per rush (2.7).

Minnesota vs. Iowa is a game to bet on the defense. Minnesota should be under 14.5 points.
