Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Washington Huskies Prediction
I’m on the Huskies here. These teams in the Big Ten don’t make the cross country travel spots well and you’ve got Iowa off of Ohio State and that Herculean effort to try to knock off the Buckeyes. Washington’s had issues but they’re at home where they’ve been at their best and I think that the Huskies take care of business in this one so give me Washington here.
