ESPN’s SP+ predicts final score of Iowa vs. Wisconsin in Week 7

ESPN’s SP+ has predicted the final score of every game on the Week 7 slate, including a key rivalry matchup and trophy game in the B1G.

That showdown is Iowa vs. Wisconsin with the Heartland Trophy back up for grabs. Iowa recaptured the trophy in 2022 in what has been one of the tightest historical rivalries in college football.

The two sides have alternated wins recently while the home has won 4 straight. This season, the game is in Madison, and it’s no surprise the Badgers are a home favorite.

Heading into the game, the SP+ gives Wisconsin a 71% win probability while projecting the Badgers to win 24-15 with a specific margin of victory of 9.7 points. That is noteworthy as Wisconsin enters the game at -9.5. Any fans hoping to get in on the action can head to BetMGM to get started!
