Northwestern +11.5 (2 units)
This has been a series dominated by the visiting team as they have gone 8-0 ATS. This is particulary puzzling due to the differences of home fields (dome, turf vs. outdoor, grass).
Minnesota was very fortunate to walk out of Happy Valley with a win last week as the Lions totally stymied the Gopher's rushing attack after allowing them to march up the field early and often. But they still come into this game 5-0, and kudos must be given for that record. While NW may not have the stingy "D" of the Lions, they do possess the best offense that the Gophers have faced this year.
In yet another letdown situation, we look for Northwestern to put up a major fight here. Minnesota heard all about their easy schedule and despite being outgained by over 100 yards pulled out a game many expected them to flop in. Now they travel again in-league and are a double digit road fav. Mason has been favored by more than 10 points only 4 times in the Big 10 (once on the road, a loss) and have gone 1-3 ATS. The dog has barked at a 9-2 ATS rate when these two meet, and Northwestern is 14-7 ATS getting points in the Big 10. Ruff!!! Ruff!!
