Iowa has conceded an astonishingly meager average of 13.2 points per game this season, making theirs the fourth meanest defense in the country. Kirk Ferentz's team prides itself on excelling the less glamorous areas of the game, one of which is clock management.

Tennessee's approach couldn't be more different. The Vols play fast, the idea being to speed up the game and have as many possessions as possible. Speed, however, doesn't necessarily mean carelessness. QB Joe Milton has posted 20 touchdowns this season to just five interceptions, an impressive ratio considering the team's playing style.

The Hawkeyes, meanwhile, have scored 20 touchdowns collectively, scraping together six across four games in November. They're ranked dead last in the nation in total offense, but as long as that defense holds firm they'll always be in with a shot.

At the time of publication, Tennessee are -5.5 point favorites according to DraftKings
