Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica:

The Gophers gave up 272 on the ground last week vs. Iowa. So, of course, I’ll take them and the points at Michigan, which threw for 32 yards, ran for 290 and got a non-offensive score in the upset of USC. We still aren’t sure if Colston Loveland will play for the Wolverines, and without him, the passing game will continue to be anemic and archaic.

PICK: Minnesota (+9.5) to lose by fewer than 9.5 points, or win outright
