Minnesota Golden Gophers (2015: 6-7 SU, 7-6 ATS)
Odds to win conference: +6500
Season win total: 6.5
Why bet the Golden Gophers: Minnesota had back-to-back 8-5 seasons prior to going just 6-7 in 2015. But the Golden Gophers lost their coach midway thru the year, and their 5-2 start to the season went up in smoke. With 13 returning starters, 2016 should be a bounce back season for Minnesota. The Golden Gophers play a favorable schedule this season as they avoid the Big Three: Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State.
Why not bet the Golden Gophers: The Golden Gophers regressed on both sides of the ball last season, so they’ll need to bounce back strong if they want to have a winning record. Minnesota also needs significant improvement on both lines as they only ran for 144 yards per game while giving up 166 yards per game to their opponents.
Season win total pick: Over 6.5
