This is a 10* play on the OVER between Minnesota and Northwestern.
Northwestern comes into this Big Ten matchup as the only 2-0 team in league play and will look to carry that positive momentum and confidence into another victory at Minnesota today. Easier said than done obviously, but the Wildcats have a legitimate shot at moving to their first 3-0 start to a Big Ten campaign since 2000. The Golden Gophers clearly have some plans of their own as a victory would give them a stellar 5-1 start to the year and a 2-0 record to start conference play. The Wildcats have been getting the job done with stout defensive play so far, they rank third in the league and No. 14 nationall in scoring defense. However, after holding Nebraska to 25 points below its season scoring average, I think Northwestern has a letdown here; remember, through five games last year the Wildcats were allowing 27 points per outing. Minnesota has to be feeling pretty confident too, it's beaten Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State. Offensively the Wildcats have an opportunity to score some point as Minnesota has given up an average of 19 PPG thus far. Offensively for the home side, expect to see Mitch Leidner push the pace today, he's played 14 games for the Maroon and Gold and gone 10-4, rushing for 10 TD's, while passing for 1,148 yards and six TD's. This can still be a "chess match" style of contest and go OVER the number, and that's exactly what I'm expecting to happen.
