do you feel Wisconsin is just that good, or Michigan matches up much better with Iowa, or Michigan will play much better after a couple weeks and at home?

I have a hard time seeing Iowa losing by multiple scores.  I also have a hard time seeing Michigan losing by multiple scores.  Unless one team is uncharacteristically sloppy, it's going to be a tight one and I won't be one bit surprised if it's settled by a late FG attempt.

31 points to Michigan is a little generous... the two teams combined might not score much more than that.

way too generous. Michigan hung 52 up on Rutgers. BFD. Rutgers sucks.

Michigan won't score more than 21 on Iowa. And they'll be lucky to even get to 21. First one to 17 wins.

I will state it more simply. Iowa has a better defense than Michigan. Iowa has an adequate offense, which I believe is in equipoise with Michigan.

I don't think Iowa has had a turnover this year.  Certainly, no interceptions. Michigan has turned it over.

If it comes down to the kicking game . . . I don't think Iowa has had a kicking game this good since 1985 with Reggie Roby and Rob Houghtlin. We know how that Michigan-Iowa game turned out. A superior kicking game probably makes about 3-5 points difference. It was the difference between a win and a loss for Iowa, over Iowa State.

Still, this is a dangerous game. Michigan is looking for a big win, something that has proven elusive. And, unlike the game they played against the Badgers, this one is at home.

Michigan is gradually getting over some injuries.  Playing at home is a thousand times better than Camp Randal or Kinnick for that matter.  Looking ahead, I'd hate to be Penn State playing a night game in Kinnick the following week no matter if Iowa wins or loses to Michigan.

Some disagreements:

1) I don't believe Iowa has a better defense than Michigan. At least not yet.
2) Iowa has one turnover (Brady Ross fumble vs Miami, OH)
3) Reggie Roby graduated in 1982

Iowa might have a better defense then Michigan, but it would need to be a completely healthy defense.  Not one down 3 of it's top 5 corners, including their best overall corner (IMO) in Hankins.

Given the current state of Iowa's defensive backfield, my biggest concern in this game is UM coming out in a lot of 3/4 WR sets, because Iowa just doesn't have the healthy bodies this week to match up well with that, unless both Hankins/Brents magically get healthy.

If this was in Iowa City I'd take Iowa.   I think Michigan gets it done at home.    I'm also suggesting by this that Wisky is that good.

I feel the Hawks win a tight one because of better QB play.

That is the only place I see a clear advantage.

Playing at home matters. But I think turnovers are a problem for Michigan. This strikes me as a very close game with the scoring in the teens. I think Iowa pulls it out because it wins the turnover battle.

 I was at the Rutgers - Iowa game, and sat in the North End Zone. I was very impressed by Michael Ojemudia. By my eye he is in the Josh Jackson/Desmond King area in terms of cover. Hankins played most of that game, as well, but I didn't really notice. Rutgers was 10 of 27 passing for 47 yards. All of Iowa's cover people did well. Ojemudia really impressed me.
