Michigan 52, Minnesota 10

Goofers are absolutely horrible. Rutgers remains the best team HARBAUGH!!!! has played.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Correct.

I can't believe this game is only Michigan -19.5 (opened at 18.5). Easy money.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Well Row The Raft likes to shorten games...so there is that.

[Mike]

It’ll have to be a 2 possession game for them to cover.

[Hannibal]

The betting markets do seem to have an uncanny knack for being right when you least expect it, but boy 19.5 points really does seem low for this one.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Both teams run the ball. Both like to shorten the game. I can see it being low possessions and low scoring. Row The Raft won't score more than 10 so M needs to put up 30.

I think 31-10 seems pretty plausible.

[Mike]

That's how I felt going into the Nebraska game. Minnesota has less talent than Nebraska.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Probably about even talent. But Row The Raft slows the game down more.

[lineygoblue]

But aren't they paddling a canoe?

[Mike]

I believe they are clinging to driftwood now.

[THE_WIZARD_]

The West is a steaming pile of horseshit...and that may be offensive to horseshit...

[Tslisher]

I’d say something like 39-7 Michigan. I agree that spread is too low. Guessing Michigan gets two picks in this game as the Gophers get behind and have to try to throw downfield. Something they are horrible at.

I recall Nebraska’s defense owning Minnesota in week 1… also UNC defeated Minnesota quite comfortably.

It is a goofy night game on the road though. However, M annihilated Minnesota in 2020, right? Back when I said Joe Milton had Cam Newton vibes. Also the weird M @ Minnesota game from 2015 that caused too much stress for me.

M 28
Goofers 7
M - 18.5

Can’t see Minnesota’s offense doing much at all considering my viewings of this team. Some physical trench warfare expected. Minnesota is a poor, poor, poor man’s version of M’s style there.

A game where a pick six, fumble return, special teams score will make it look worse than the actual score.
