Summary
In this episode, 247Sports beat writers Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the keys for the No. 4 Michigan football team ahead of its tough road test at Iowa, and make their predictions for the contest.
The first half of the episode is devoted to Michigan's offense as it tries to crack a pretty stout Hawkeyes defense. They look at the Wolverines' need to avoid turnovers and mental mistakes, an opportunity to pass the ball in the flats, where pass protection will be most important and more. They also take a look at three for-fun prop bets for Michigan's offense.
In the second half of the episode, they look at Michigan's defense, and how it can avoid a surprise letdown showing against Iowa's struggling offense. They discuss the Wolverines' pass rush, middle-of-the-field coverage and readiness for Iowa's standard passing and rushing downs.
The two close with their final outlooks for the game and predictions for the matchup.

| 0:56.7 | that out so steve you and i were uh kind of talking before the show the the big challenge i think |
| 1:01.9 | for this game no matter what you think of iowa's special teams or you know what kind of fluke |

| 1:15.8 | It almost seems impossible for Iowa to keep up. |
| 1:20.3 | They might get a few points here and there. |
| 1:21.9 | They might have a couple drives where they have success, but it's hard to imagine them |
| 1:26.2 | conducting, say, four scoring drives |
| 1:29.1 | because they've barely got four scoring drives all season through four games. |
