Northwestern -1.5 at Minnesota
Playing against Minnesota two weeks in a row. I'm not hiding the fact that I do not respect the Gophers over inflated record this year. At the same time, I have been very impressed with Northwestern's work over the past two months. They went toe to toe with big boys OSU and Wisc in their only two losses since September. Their passing game has taken off in that time and that is precisely where Minnesota is susceptible. Defensively, NU is strong where Minn is strong and weak where they are weak so I think it neutralizes. I like NU by 6.
