Gophers open as 2.5 point favorite over Michigan

[noamfromm]

First guesses that come to mind are 2014 and 2015, but wouldn’t surprise me if we were underdogs in both. Maybe against Michigan’s rock bottom 2008 team that finished 3-9?

Minnesota has not been favored against Michigan within the last 30 years, per oddshark.com. The closest dog we have been was at +1.5 in 2003.

This doesn't show the total bets placed, but does show the percentage of wagers.

Some neutral commentators I am reading have Michigan favored by 3 to 5 points. Basic argument is that there is little home field advantage, so their talent differential will prevail in the end for Michigan. One guy feels that between QB Joe Morris’s running ability, and the Gophers inexperienced front seven, we are in trouble. Michigan’s new OC will have all kinds of new looks and plays—much more wide open. The Gophers’ D might be both surprised and flat-footed. Who knows?

Well... you were 100% correct.

Wish I was wrong ...

Yeah it's 2020, I equally expect to obliterate them, or get obliterated... no clue.

Good call.
