Gophers 16.5 point underdogs in Happy Valley

[JPIIGopher]

I think I like Minnesota.

I don't care for the match up, it doesn't scream upset to me. But that line is pretty enticing.

 

[Bronko Nagurski Gopher]

i think that line will come back quite a bit as the week goes on

+16.5?! no way.

 

[Schnoodler]

It seems like an extreme line, but OSU's line against Wiscy held all week and they actually covered. I bet the line holds.

 

[JPIIGopher]

OSU got really lucky to cover, and by lucky I guess I mean that they scored 10 offensive points and still covered a 16.5 point spread!!! The more I look at this matchup, the more I love Minnesota. Penn St better on defense, but their offense is nothing special. Penn St. by 7-14 imo.

 

[Schnoodler]

The only problem with Penn State is that defensive mistakes against them will likely result in points. Thus a small advantage by them can magnify in points. But I agree I think we cover for sure.

I'll take MN.

 

[Big Play]

I'll take the gophs also!!

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

Good. As long as we don't play like huge underdogs.

 

[MrGopher]

If it looks like torrential rain again in Happy Valley, that line will likely drop. That rain was a huge factor in Iowa coming out of there with a W.

Pray for Rain!!! Or snow!! Or pray that we play them better than Eastern Illinois did!!

We haven't been smacked around yet this year. In fact, we have not shown any signs that we will be. I really like that spread, would be horribly suprised if we manage to lose by more than 2 touchdowns.
