Iowa vs Robert Morris Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this season missing a ton of production from last year, so it will be interesting to see who steps up to fill those voids. Iowa will be at home and they are a big favorite to win, but I don’t love how they are set up this year. I think this would be a great spot to fade Iowa, but Robert Morris is in a very similar situation and I don’t have faith in them rebuilding very quickly. I don’t love it, but take Iowa here.
