Media Prediction Thread: Northwestern State at Minnesota

I’ll predict 84-16 matching the score of the 1983 Nebraska vs Minnesota game, however, in our favor this time
 




Here's a couple graphs from College Football News on their 55-0 Gophers pick
Minnesota has to use this game to open up the scoring punch. There should be a balance, and the starters should get their work in over the first 30 minutes and then sit, but if there aren’t a bajillion points scored here, there’s a problem.

Northwestern State lost to Tulsa 62-28 last year and had an 87-10 problem against South Alabama. The Gophers will put up points early, and then the dogs will be called off.

Gophers on SI predicts a 49-0 win for Minnesota
Betting odds are typically aren't released for games between FBS and FCS opponents until the night before or morning of the game. I expect Minnesota to be favored by at least 40 points in this matchup, and probably closer to 50.

Northwestern State is among the worst Division I football teams in the country. A win over the Gophers would be the biggest in their program's history and probably the worst upset loss in Minnesota's. The Gophers have advantages all over the field, and I fully expect them to cruise to an easy win in Week 2.

The Daily Gopher (SB Nation) picks Minnesota, 44-0
This Northwestern State program is in bad shape. Their season-opening 20-10 win over Alcorn State snapped a 20-game losing streak that stretched back to 2022 and included five contests that were forfeited in 2023 due to the shooting death of a player. The Gophers should roll.
