Minnesota vs Washington Pick
Washington has the more explosive quarterback, but Minnesotaβs physical style should prevent the Huskies from completely controlling the game. The Golden Gophers can shorten the matchup by establishing Thomas and avoiding turnovers. Lindsey does not need to match Williams statistically as long as Minnesota converts third downs and finishes its scoring opportunities. Washington should make enough plays at home to secure the victory, but Minnesota can stay within one possession and help keep the matchup below the total.
