You know the drill - predict the exact final score and win a Gopher gold t-shirt (L or XL) - for Gopher fans of course.

Wisconsin fans, we encourage you to predict the final score as well - if you win, well, you get to supreme knowledge of knowing you went against your friends and rightfully picked the Gophers win!! :cool:

Gophers 27
Badgers 24

Axe. Is. Back.
 













Gophers 27
Badgers 26

No way I can pick those slimebags!!
 

ESPN guys chime in:

"NO. 18 WISCONSIN at MINNESOTA

Brian Bennett: Minnesota is improved, but I remember that Marcus Coker 250-plus yard performance from a couple of weeks ago. That's a scary thought with Wisconsin's powerful ground game coming to the Twin Cities. Montee Ball gets three scores before the third quarter ends to break the Big Ten record and Wisconsin swings the axe in its first true road victory. ... Wisconsin 42, Minnesota 20


Adam Rittenberg: The Battle for the Axe has become much more interesting in the past few weeks, as Minnesota is making progress, particularly on offense. Minnesota will be fired up for this game and MarQueis Gray will make some plays, but Wisconsin's offense is simply too much for the Gophers. Montee Ball records two touchdowns to tie the Big Ten single-season record as the Badgers prevail. ... Wisconsin 34, Minnesota 21"

Go Gophers!!
 




As the great Julius Pearlt would say Wisconsin 33 - Minnesota 34. The Gophers score on a 39 yard pass from MG to DM with 5 seconds left on the clock.
 






Minnesota, a phenom upset at 28
Wisky, a three time loser this season at 24

May it ever be so. In Kill We Trust! Thank God we're not in Happy Valley!

I've liked being wrong the last few weeks.
 

Wisconsin 34
Minnesota 21

Minnesota covers the spread in a closer than predicted game.

- What else should happen when it's a huge rivalry?
 

I'm going with my winning score from last week. This time the Gophers win.

Gophers - 31
Stinking Badgers - 24

Even though I picked the above score my vision of a perfect score would be Gophers 80, Wisky 0. Ten TDs and ten 2-point conversions.
 

Gophers 17
Badgers 42

Badgers are playing at a very high-level. Let's face it: the Gophers will really have to be on-point to be in this game.

Sometimes I would love be wrong. This is one of those times.
 





Friday Night: Minnesota 5, Wisconsin 2
Saturday Afternoon: Wisconsin 55, Minnesota 34
Saturday Night: Minnesota 6, Wisconsin 1

Over/Under is at 63.5 right now. I'm not a huge O/U better, but I think the over is going to get smashed in this one.
 

My heart says Gophers 30, Badgers 24.

My head says Badgers 52, Gophers 14.


For the purposes of this contest, I'm going to split the difference and predict they cover the spread.

Badgers 42, Gophers 24.
