This is a 10* BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR on Minnesota.
For a number of different reasons, I expect the home side to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover. Rutgers makes its first ever appearance in the Barn in a Big Ten Conference matchup, a contest which I feel is of crtical importance for the Gophers who have yet to notch a victory in league play. Minnesota most recently loss 77-75 to Iowa on Tuesday. Amazingly, the Gophers have dropped four of their five games by five points or fewer, including a pair of two-point defeats. I think it's important to note though that the Gophers would finish with an 11-2 non-conference schedule, including a perfect 9-0 at home. Rutgers is 2-3 in conference play and also comes into this contest off a loss, a 73-65 setback in College Park vs. the Terps and I think will once again have its hands full today vs. a Minnesota team which ranks second nationally in steals per game (11.1) and sixth in assists (17.8), ranking it first and second among Big Ten schools in those departments. And note, from a trend based stand point, they don't get much better than this as Rutgers is a poor 1-3 ATS in its last four vs. good offensive teams which average 77 plus points per contest, while Minnesota is already a great 4-1 ATS as a home favorite of 12.5 points or more this season. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends all clearly point to the GOLDEN GOPHERS as the sharp move in this one.
