Nebraska (+8) at Minnesota:

Seems like a huge line for Minnesota to cover.  What am I missing?

The Golden Gophers are 5-0.  The schedule is a little suspect.  Nonetheless, they are undefeated.

I just don’t trust them.  Then again, I don’t trust Nebraska either.

The Cornhuskers’ hopes and dreams quickly evaporated after Ohio State annihilated them two weeks ago.

Surprisingly, it is their offense that is struggling. They are averaging 28.7 points-per-game.  I think they will enjoy better success against Minnesota.

This will be a high-scoring game likely decided by a late turnover.  I give the edge to the home team.

Minnesota wins 42-40.
