i took the nittany-lions becuz i believe they r the better team and
playing on home field.
they have some injury concerns on D but the gophers have even more injury concerns!
they lost narrowly on the road at pitt, as a result of net -2 turnovers.
so, bad luck there, cuz that could have just as easily been a road win against an opponent rated about the same as minnesota!
their 7 point win over temple at home should have been greater but for net -2 turnovers
again, bad luck, cuz we must NOT expect the same bad luck every game. if anything they r due for a turnaround in the turnover department. even if the turnovers were even in those two games then they win both handily imo
gophers likely overrated due to 3-0 record. look closely. all 3 games on home turf. all 3 games were vs weak opponents. 2 of the 3 were won by only a single possesion difference - which we might expect to flip the other way
when played on the road!
and in this case they will be facing a much,
MUCH stronger opponent than colorado state!
line should be nittany-lions -6.5 or -7 imo, so this has line value as well!
compare the injury reports on donbest . c
if u r also on this pick i wish u success
