First predictions are out for bounce back week.
Gophers on SI has Minnesota winning 38-17
P.J. Fleck preaches going 1-0 every week and that mantra will be tested against the Boilermakers. Minnesota can still turn around the momentum of the season, but it will have to start against Purdue. I think Lindsey has a bounce-back performance and the Gophers' offense puts up a big number under the lights.
Picks and Parlays is picking Minnesota, 31-20
Purdue enters this matchup desperate for momentum, but the road environment and Minnesota’s defensive front present real challenges. Browne’s big arm keeps the Boilermakers competitive, though his interception history looms large against a defense that capitalizes on mistakes.
Minnesota’s ability to win the line of scrimmage and sustain longer drives should tilt this one their way by the second half. Expect a competitive opening before the Gophers’ physicality and home crowd take over.
Pro Football Network predicts a 40-20 Minnesota win
