A very interesting matchup for the Minnesota Golden Gophers in their final home game of the year. The opponent is the team that clinched the Big Ten West with two games left to play. And yet the Gophers are actually favored in this one.
Northwestern is a very odd team this year. On paper this team is not very good, but yet they sit two games atop of the rest of the Big Ten West with two weeks to play. They could only manage seven points against Duke and lost to Akron (4-5!!!)... both games at home.
