Schwartz backs low-scoring Iowa–Michigan game
The Fox Sports analyst expects Iowa’s defence and both teams’ cautious approach to limit scoring, and backs an Oregon passing prop against USC.
Fox Sports analyst Geoff Schwartz expects Iowa–Michigan to be a low-scoring game in Week 4, backing the Under. His picks also include an Over on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore’s passing yards against USC.
Schwartz points to Iowa’s defence as a challenge for Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood, arguing the Hawkeyes can limit explosive plays and force a patient passing game. He also says Michigan has struggled to score consistently across its first nine quarters.
Iowa’s offence, meanwhile, managed 16 points and fewer than 300 yards against Iowa State, according to the source material. Schwartz notes Michigan’s defence ranks seventh in yards per play and expects it to constrain the Hawkeyes.
He also cites the teams’ cautious coaching styles, saying both are comfortable protecting the ball, running and punting. In his view, that could make the matchup a field-position contest.
For Oregon–USC, Schwartz backs Moore to exceed his passing-yard prop, pointing to Oregon’s greater reliance on the pass and what he describes as USC’s weak pass defence. The supplied article excerpt does not include the prop line or the full analysis.
