Northwestern vs Minnesota Prediction
In this Northwestern vs Minnesota Prediction, Minnesota is coming as -3 favorites. Both teams have almost identical records both overall and against the spread and both are 4-6 in their last 10 games respectively. I don’t see value on either side but both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, going for 8-3 to the under in their last 11 games combined, as Minnesota has the 36th-best defense in the entire nation. Take the under 133 points in this one.
