This is Michigan’s first-ever appearance in the B1G Championship Game in Lucas Oil Stadium while this is Iowa’s second-ever appearance. The last time Iowa appeared in the Championship Game was in 2015 where the Hawkeyes lost as the No. 4 team to No. 5 Michigan State 16-13 in a battle for a Playoff spot.
This is the first time since 2016 where Ohio State has not been a representative of the B1G East in the B1G Championship.
Michigan comes into this game as a 12.5-point favorite over Iowa. This game is expected to be a defensive fight as both teams have highly efficient and dominant defenses.
