Michigan football gets snubbed from College GameDay predictions, with most of the crew choosing Iowa to win outright.
The biggest favorites in Power Five conference championship weekend went to the Michigan Wolverines. Head coach Jim Harbaugh and UM are undefeated on the season, coming off an incredible victory against top-ranked Oio State. Michigan stands as 22.5-point favorites against the 10-2 Iowa Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship game.
A twist to pre-game predictions occurred when a majority of the College GameDay crew picked Iowa to knock off Michigan. During their Saturday segment, Pat McAfee, Theo Von, and Lee Corso chose the Hawkeyes in a surprising sequence, per Scott Dochterman at The Athletic.
Iowa has seen their points totals for the game predicted from as low as three points, to as high as seven points. They’re a team with a very insufficient offense, highly relying on defensive stops. It’s worked for them against lower-level Big Ten opponents, but a team like Michigan is just too powerful to put to an end.
