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.
