Friday night brings us more football action from College Football, with five games on the schedule. None may be bigger than the matchup between Iowa and Washington. Tonight, BetMGM is offering new users a chance to earn up to $1,500 in bonus bets when using promo code FOXNEWS.
Iowa comes into the game ranked as the 20th-best team in the country. They are 4-1 for the season after dropping a game to Ohio State last week. The team lost 31-14 last week against the Buckeyes. Before that, they beat Northern Illinois, Iowa State, Northern Iowa, and Michigan. Against Northern Illinois and Northern Iowa, they won 95-0 combined. Against Michigan and Iowa State, they only won by three points or fewer.
The offense is centered around their passing attack. Hank Brown, their quarterback, has completed about 63% of passes for 832 yards. Even his backup, Jeremy Hecklinski, has looked strong wth 208 yards on 18-for-32 passing. They only have six total passing touchdowns, though.

Washington is not ranked, and they really want to avoid another loss, as this would be the third straight game. After starting the season 3-0, they’ve fallen to just 3-2. In the first three weeks, they took down Washington State, Utah State, and Eastern Washington. They weren’t big wins — Washington State lost by 14. Utah State lost by two, and Eastern Washington lost by 32.
The two losses that Washington has had were against Minnesota and USC. They were both close games, with Washington losing to the Golden Gophers by three and the Trojans by four. Their aerial attack has also been strong, with Demond Williams Jr. looking strong with 1,327 passing yards this season.
