So, let's check out our pick for Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Michigan Wolverines!
Does Minnesota Have Issues?
Minnesota was promised more offensive success by PJ Fleck this season, but so far this hasn’t been the case. Minnesota sits with a 2-2 record overall and in the last game against the Iowa Hawkeyes, they were defeated 31-14. Quarterback Max Brosmer completed 22 of his 37 passes for 209 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The turnovers were a major issue and they can’t get Bosmer to find success here. Darius Taylor also didn’t have a great game finishing with 10 carries for 34 yards. In the previous two games, the defense gave up zero points.
So, the Gophers are scoring around 26.5 points per game, but their defense is allowing 12.5 points. The offense is sitting at 88th place in the league, while the defense is doing better at 15th. Looks like the offense really needs to step it up in this game!
They Say, What a Win for Michigan?
After Michigan’s loss against Texas most counted out of the Wolverines, but in the last game against USC, they made another statement. Everyone seemed to count out Michigan, but they were able to beat USC 27-24. Michigan made a quarterback change turning to Alex Orji but he didn’t pass the ball a lot. He completed 7 of his 12 passes for 32 yards. He also rushed the ball 13 times for 43 yards. Kalel Mullings finished with 17 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns. The running game was good, but they need to try and find a way to get a little more offense going.
So, Michigan is scoring an average of 24.3 points per game this season, but their defense is allowing 20.8 points. The offense is sitting at 99th place in the league rankings, while the defense is at 55th. If the defense keeps it up, they should have it easy.

Game Prediction
The Pick: Minnesota +10.5 -130
Minnesota is gonna make sure this game stays tight. They're gonna do better on offense than they did against Iowa. Their defense might have a tough time with Michigan's running game, but it's gonna be their offense that keeps things close. I bet Minnesota will score at least 21 points, and the Golden Gophers will cover the spread. So, back Minnesota against the spread for sure!
