College Football News is predicting a 23-20 Minnesota win
Who did Wisconsin do well against on third downs? Rutgers, Purdue, Western Michigan, and South Dakota. All wins, and those were the only four times the offense moved - and that’s not even right. There were problems against the Broncos and Coyotes early.
The Badgers are 5-0 when running for 171 yards or more, 0-6 when they don’t. Iowa, USC. Those are the only two teams able to rumble on Minnesota for over 155.

I’m backing the Gophers in this one, backed by a steady dose of Taylor in the running game. If Max Brosmer can limit the mistakes at the quarterback position, I think the Gophers can grind out a close win.
It’ll be ugly, but that’s par for the course for the Battle for the Axe. Take the Gophers and sprinkle the under, as I think Wisconsin could be prone to mistakes and will struggle offensively.
Picks and Parlays takes Minnesota, 27-20
Minnesota will have a tough time on the road but the Golden Gophers will pick up a victory nonetheless when visiting Wisconsin on Friday. Minnesota has covered the number in six of the last seven, while Wisconsin has failed to cover the number in eight of the last 10 played in November. Minnesota's defense is allowing an average of only 18.5 points per game and Wisconsin will have a tough time moving the ball against the Golden Gophers.
Clutch Points is siding with Minnesota in the game.
Wisconsin has not played well lately, and that gives me some hesitation when it comes to betting on them. I do like what Minnesota has done this season, even with their tough losses. For that reason, I am going to take the Golden Gophers to win this game straight up.

I’m on Wisconsin here. I just think this is the world for Wisconsin who really have aspirations of making it to a bowl game. On the other side, I just wonder about motivation here for Minnesota.
I know it’s a rivalry/trophy game, but they just lost a heartbreaker to Penn State and have already got a bowl game locked up. Wisconsin just needs it more here and while normally that’s not enough for me for a bet, they have the talent to follow through and I think it does here. Give me Wisconsin.
