We have seen this show before. Virginia plays lock-down defense but on the offensive end, it is like watching paint dry. Virginia hasn’t won against an opponent that has scored more than 55 points this season. Iowa’s offensive has been lighting it up this season, I don't see them being as explosive against Virginia but should be able to get 55 points easily. Iowa has four scores in double figures so someone should be able to get hot against Virginia.

Play on Iowa. This is a 7* play.
