Prediction
Michigan has one of the best defenses in the nation, and Minnesota’s defense is also pretty solid. Still, the over/under is set very low for this matchup, and last week, we saw Minnesota’s matchup end with 45 points versus a strong Iowa side and Michigan’s ending with 51 against a higher-ranked USC team. Two of the Wolverines’ past three games have gone over, and as long as Minnesota isn’t completely inept on offense, expect this one to end with at least 38 points.
Final Pick
Over 37.5 (-130)
