Minnesota vs. Iowa Betting Pick: Back the Golden Gophers

I wonder if Minnesota-Iowa piqued your interest at all, Dave. This is a spot where both of these teams are coming off of a bye, but they're coming off very, very different results. Iowa went to Washington. Hecklinski takes the job over from Brown. They're going to roll with him. They scored 41. Hecklinski averaged 10 yards per pass attempt, three passing touchdowns. They just lit up Washington. Minnesota drilled, drilled by Purdue. Short road favorite. They lose 41-13. I think this is an incredible opportunity to bet Minnesota. P.J. Fleck had this team riding high. And the way the world goes, a little too high. And now he has had a full bye week to tell his guys to get ready for Iowa with their full attention off of that loss to Purdue. where Iowa, Iowa were a three-point dog at Washington, a three-point dog and most people were laying those three points by the way with Washington in that spot and now they're a seven and a half point favorite against Minnesota, I think this number has gone too far here I think the Golden Gophers are alive in this football game I think they hang inside the seven and a half one guy who was playing with Washington on that Friday night was this guy I had Iowa plus the number. Got that one, got the upset to start the week off right two weeks ago. You got the bye week. You think Iowa's going to come out firing. Minnesota's a tricky team. They've played some good games. They've played some bad games. You kind of don't know what bag of good. Sort of like, you know, going and trick-or-treating that we're going to be doing in a week. I lean Minnesota. I like Minnesota. It is a team I've considered putting in some money line parlays. Again, you got that seven and a hook out there that scares you away from Iowa. but if you do like Minnesota, you are getting that hook. I think this game will be close. It'll be more of a grind-out game, and I don't think you're going to see the Iowa newfound offense putting up 40 points against Minnesota. So I agree with you on this one. Not on the board, but I do agree with your lean.
