Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. Missouri Tigers Prediction

I’m leaning towards Minnesota here. I think that this is a legit Golden Gophers team that’s well coached under Niko Medved, and when I look at these two teams side-by-side, I don’t think there’s enough separating the two to be laying this many points on Missouri at hoem. I think this is a game that could come down to the final few possessions and I think Minnesota’s live here. Give me the Golden Gophers and the points here.
