Gophers five point favorites against Rutgers

Donate To GopherHole

I hope we win.

But I think that line is off. ... but this time of year I swear I see a lot of these lines that are a bit off.

That seems generous to the Gophers. Especially since Cal got waxed by a mid-major and Rutgers beat the Gophers last year.

I'm surprised by it too. I was thinking maybe favored by a point or two at the most.
 

I have a feeling last year is being repeatedly beaten over the team's head this week. They played like it was gonna be a gimmie and choked. I don't think we're going to see any lapses in effort this week
 

Rutgers opponents have been more impressive. Beat Ohio, possibly best MAC team.

Both teams coming off disappointing losses.

Morning game with likely stale atmosphere.

5 seems like a lot.
 




Line will probably shift but chances are it was set there in order to encourage bets for Rutgers. They always have a reason.

That said, us being a favorite at home is not surprising. I get the general negativity but we are coming off a bye week and playing at home against a decent but not spectacular Rutgers team.
