Iowa vs Washington Prediction 10-12-24 College Football Picks

In this article, we will formulate an Iowa vs Washington Prediction for this College Football Week 7 game on Saturday, October 12th, at the Kinnick Stadium.  Let’s take a look at an Iowa Hawkeyes vs Washington Huskies pick.

Why Can’t Iowa Find a Good Quarterback?

Year after year it’s the same story for this Iowa Hawkeyes team, they struggle to move the ball through the air. Iowa in the last game faced off against Ohio State and the offense scored seven points, but the defense gave up 35 points. Cade McNamara completed 14 of his 20 passes for 98 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Running back Caleb Johnson is the star of the offense and he rushed 15 times for 86 yards and a touchdown. Coming into this game Iowa sits with a 3-2 record. 

Iowa on the season is averaging 27 points while their defense is giving up 18 points per game. The offense is ranked 84th in the league while the defense is ranked 25th. In this game, McNamara needs to find a way to get the offense going through the air. 

What a Win for Washington

Washington in the last game faced off against Michigan and the offense scored 27 points on the way to the victory. Will Rogers completed 21 of his 31 passes for 271 yards, two touchodwns, and one interception. Jonah Coleman finished with 18 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown. Denzel Boston finished with five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. Two games ago against Rutgers, Washington scored only 18 points and they ended up losing by three points. 

In this game Will Rogers is going to need to try and take good care of the ball and not turn the ball over. Washington on the season is averaging 25.5 points while their defense is giving up 13.2 points per game. The offfense is ranked 92nd in the league while the defense is ranked 10th in the league. 

Why Washington Will Beat Iowa

• Washington has won each of its last six games in October.
• Iowa has failed to cover the spread in seven of its last nine October games at Kinnick Stadium.
• The underdog has covered the spread in three of Iowa’s last four games at Kinnick Stadium.
• Washington has won the first half in 12 of its last 16 games against conference opponents.

Iowa vs Washington Prediction

This total is too high and this game is going to have issues getting to even 30 points. Washington is giving up only 13.2 points per game and their defense is going to step up in a big way here. At some point Iowa needs to make a quarterback play because McNamara isn’t it and he’s going to really struggle again here. Neither team is going to reach 15 points here, and the under is going to cash here.
