AAA's VERY EARLY 10* BIG-TEN SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION (+$20K NCAAF RUN CONT!)
(NCAAF) Minnesota vs. Northwestern,
Point Spread: 5.00 | -110.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on Minnesota.

After opening the year at 4-0 SU, we feel that Northwestern is going to have a bit of a letdown here, enough of one for Minnesota to at the very least, sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the handful of points that it's been afforded. The Golden Gophers are bit banged up in the secondary and will be tested by Northwestern's talented group, but the visitors also have plenty of offensive weapons, including QB Mitch Leidner, who threw for a career-high 264 yards in last week's 27-24 win over Ohio, the team racked up 468 total yards, 204 rushing and 264 passing. The Wildcats got good production from junior QB Clayton Thorson, who threw for three TD's in last week's 24-19 win over Ball State, but note that the Golden Gophers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 vs. conference opponents. Northwestern has got the job done with tough defensive play, but faces a stiff test today vs. Minnesota's balanced attack. While we wouldn't be shocked by an outright SU victory, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can (note that Northwestern is just 3-10 ATS in its last 13 as a favorite); play on the GOLDEN GOPHERS.
