Northwestern at Iowa

It has been 18 years since Northwestern last won a piece of the Big Ten title.  A win over Iowa won’t clinch the West for the Wildcats, but it can knock the Hawkeyes and Badgers out of contention.

Both teams enter the game a little bruised.  Northwestern lost a close game last week to Notre Dame and the Hawkeyes just suffered back to back road losses.

Neither offense is dynamic so I am predicting low-scoring, defensive battle.  Hawkeyes score a late touchdown to win 19-17.
