Some Great Info I found regarding the Lsu/ucla game:
The UCLA Bruins beat the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 44-10 in their opener. Their defense looked drastically improved as they gave up just 10 points and 269 total yards to what was expected to be a pretty good Hawaii offense. But the Bruins did return 10 starters and a ton of talent defensively, so it was expected they would be improved.
The 44 points UCLA scored was misleading. Hawaii basically handed UCLA three scores with special teams blunders. UCLA only managed 392 total yards in the win, doing most of that on the ground with 244 rushing yards. Dorian Thompson-Robinson was very shaky, going 10-of-20 passing for 130 yards with one touchdown. It’s clear Chip Kelly wants to run the football and control the clock this season, which is also good for UNDERS.
LSU lost 14 NFL draft picks going into last season and took major hits both offensively and defensively because of it. I still think they struggle on offense this year, especially now that QB Myles Brennan is out for the start of the season. Backup Max Johnson will get the start Saturday and wasn’t nearly as effective as Brennan. They really miss their offensive coordinator from the National Championship season in Joe Brady, who left for the Carolina Panthers last year.
There’s no question that LSU will be one of the most improved defensive teams in the country. They go from having just three starters back on D last year to nine returning starters this year. They have just way too much talent on this side of the ball not to make a Difference in their Defense After giving up 21.9 points per game or fewer in four consecutive seasons, the Tigers allowed 34.9 points per game last year. This year will be different!
I agree and am on the under because of this!

Some info I pulled up regarding the Iowa Game and Turnovers:
When Iowa commits one or zero turnovers, it has a 21-2 record since the start of the 2018 season; it's 4-7 when it coughs the ball up twice or more.
The stat is more staggering when Iowa has zero turnovers. The Hawkeyes have won 15 straight when turnover-free and are averaging 35.9 points in those contests. The last time they lost a game despite a no-turnover day was 17-9 to Wisconsin on Oct. 22, 2016. And Indianas qb is a risk taker hoping that the Strong run game of Iowa combined with a few errors on indiana's Qb as well as Iowa taking care of the ball has Iowa in the Winners column and covering today
This is why I am going with the Hawkeyes today.
