Big Ten GAME OF THE YEAR
(NCAAF) Golden Gophers (MIN) vs. Bruins (UCLA),
Point Spread: -3.50 | -114.00 Golden Gophers (MIN) (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Minnesota - ATS

1) I like the Gophers to get the solid win in this game against the Bruins on Saturday, October 12th. The line looks like a trap line to take home team as an underdog and hosting a team off a hard-fought win over a tough USC team. In terms of the trap, I am not falling for it!

2) Minnesota has a bye week on deck and they know they can rest up next week. That said, even off the late game win over Southern Cal last week, there will be not let up from the Gophers here on the road. They are the stronger team and this UCLA team has been consistently losing by a solid margin.

3) The Bruins have played a tough schedule but the Gophers also have played a tough schedule in recent weeks. Also, the only UCLA win is over Hawaii. The Warriors are a team that is just 2-3 on the season and the only 2 wins were over FCS schools as Hawaii is 0-3 versus FBS teams! UCLA throws more than they run and the Gophers pass D has been great. Road team rolls here!

T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Minnesota.

Line: -3.5
