Ohio State Football: Big Ten Week One Predictions

7 of 9

NEW YORK, NY – DECEMBER 27: Joshua Jackson #15 of the Iowa Hawkeyes celebrates with teammates after intercepting a pass from the Boston College Eagles during the second half of the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on December 27, 2017 in the Bronx borough of New York City.

Northern Illinois and Iowa

The Hawkeyes are supposed to be good this year. Can they handle the pressure?

Iowa’s track record in these types of games is mixed, especially at home which is odd given the difficulty of player in Kinnick.

The Huskies are no strangers to beating Big Ten schools. They have defeated Iowa, Northwestern and Nebraska since 2013.

I expect this to be a typical Kirk Ferentz game. Close until the end when Iowa scores a late touchdown. Hawkeyes 24-13.
