With the Indiana-Iowa on Saturday, all eyes are on who’s going to win one of the spicier matchups around the B1G.

Both teams come into this game as top 20 teams in the country and they’re also right next to each other. Indiana is at No. 17, while Iowa is at No. 18.

This is shaping up to be a pretty close game but ESPN’s FPI predictor sees the Hawkeyes coming out with the victory. According to the Football Power Index (FPI), Iowa has a 58.3% chance of beating the Hoosiers.

The deciding difference may be that it’s a home game for Iowa and they’re always a tough out at Kinnick Stadium. It’s well known for being one of the best atmospheres in college football and with a packed house expected, it’s gonna be that much tougher for Indiana to pull out the win.

For the Hoosiers to win, they’ll have to rely on Michael Penix Jr. as he’s arguably the best QB in the conference this season and basically is their offense.

Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.
