First predictions are out for the game this week.
Picks and Parlays backs Minnesota, 23-17
This game has the feel of a close, lower-scoring Big Ten contest. Rutgers has a more proven offense, but Minnesota’s defense at home creates an advantage in this matchup. The Golden Gophers will win by maintaining pressure from their front seven on the Rutgers offense, while on offense, maintaining sustained drives. Final Score Prediction: Minnesota Golden Gophers win and cover.
Sports Book Wire (USA Today) picks Minnesota, 27-24
The Scarlet Knights are underdogs, but by less than a touchdown (+4.5), against the Golden Gophers (with an over/under of 51.5 points).
Pro Football Network has Rutgers winning, 20-10
Capper Tek has Minnesota winning 33-10
