OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Handicapper says go with Iowa plus the points. They are getting four from Michigan at BetUs Sportsbook

In the beginning of the season I called Todd Lickliter’s squad one of the worst Big 10 teams ever. Don’t get me wrong, these guys are far from being good right now but they are much improved and at home are actually alright.

Michigan is the far more talented team and it showed in the 14 point first meeting victory but on their home court I can’t help but scoop up whatever I can here on the Hawkeyes.

I still do not trust the Wolverines on the road even if they have a stud in Manny Harris and just won as the big dog in Minnesota. That was a very good win for sure but Tubby Smith’s Golden Gophers have regressed mightily of late and I’m not so sure if John Beilein’s guys can repeat that feat away from Ann Arbor.

Iowa has shown some strides of late in pounding a pretty solid Northwestern team and also winning handily on the highway in Bloomington. Tucker and Gatens are alright and in the end should stick around here in Iowa City.

For years now Michigan has performed well at home but not so much on the road. This has been the case once again this season and even though they are the more talented squad with the two best players on the court in Harris and DeShawn Sims I truly feel that the road will catch up to them.

In other words history normally repeats itself a lot more often than lightning strikes twice. The bottom line here is that I just do not trust Michigan away from Crisler, period.
