IOWA CITY, Iowa – With just three games left in the regular season, the Iowa football team, despite having arguably the worst offense in the nation, is in sole possession of first place in the Big Ten West Division.

Iowa is 4-2 in the conference and 7-2 overall heading into Saturday’s game against a vastly improved Rutgers squad at Kinnick Stadium.

Dallas Jones also continues to lead our four panelists with a 32-13 record, but the gap has been narrowed as he missed on three of his five picks last week.

The pressure could be starting to bother him with so much on the line.

Pat Harty

Iowa 11, Rutgers 10: Three Drew Stevens field goals and one safety for those wondering about how Iowa will score its points.

Michigan 27, Penn State 24: Smile, Nittany Lions. You’re on candid camera.

Minnesota 28, Purdue 27: I’m predicting that Purdue head coach Ryan Walters will blame the loss on the Michigan filming scandal.

Iowa State 31, BYU 30: Matt Campbell continues to position himself as a candidate for the Michigan job for when Jim Harbaugh resigns to become the Iowa offensive coordinator.

Arizona 35 Colorado 33: Coach Prime once said that he would ask for so much money from whichever NFL team drafted him that they might have to put him on lay-away. Offensive linemen might ask the same from Colorado in the transfer portal.

Last week: 3-2

Overall: 30-15

Dallas Jones

Rutgers 16, Iowa 10: Wake up call for the Hawkeyes? Let’s make the last couple weeks of the regular season interesting.

Michigan 27, Penn State 23: Big boy football. May the best man win.

Minnesota 24, Purdue 13: Ewhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Iowa State 31,  BYU 27: Bounce back Becht?

Arizona 35, Colorado 31: Sorry Prime! Arizona is not just a basketball school!

Rob Howe

Iowa 13, Rutgers 6: I picture two dudes locking each other up in a headlock for 60 minutes or maybe thumb wrestling for an hour.

Michigan 24, Penn State 20: These are two of the more likable coaches in the Big Ten. Actually, no, they’re not.

Minnesota 28, Purdue 24: This score doesn’t make sense after last week’s results unless you’re in the bizarro Big Ten West.

Iowa State 24, BYU 17: Somebody please tell the Cyclone fans that the the Busch Light in most Provo establishments is 3.2 percent alcohol. Stay near a bathroom.

Arizona 30, Colorado 27: Top O-Linemen hitting the transfer portal beginning Dec. 4 will be receiving sizable offers from Boulder.

Last week: 2-3

Overall: 26-19

Alex Pruismann

Iowa 9, Rutgers 6: Offensive explosion of over 200 yards incoming. 50 of which come from Coop.

Michigan 34, Penn State 30: Harbaugh cheats just enough to squeak by.

Minnesota 27 Purdue 17: The row boat isn’t quite sunk yet.

Iowa State 24 BYU 21: The fictional Iowa/ISU rematch score gap grows larger in the eyes of ISU fans.

Arizona 42, Colorado 40: Colorado is bad. I hopped off this train at the first stop. Prime needs lineman and better coaches for said lineman.

Last week: 3-2

Overall: 29-11
