The Minnesota Golden Gophers meet with the Virginia Tech Hokies. The Golden Gophers are coming off a loss to UNLV while the Hokies defeated Charleston Southern. This will be Minnesota's first true road game of the season. Minnesota has covered only twice this season. Minnesota is putting up 63 points and giving up 62.5 points. Virginia Tech is a perfect 4-0 at home this season. The Hokies have not covered the spread in five straight games. Tech is putting up j78.1 points a game but has not played stiff competition. On the defensive side, they are giving up 65.3 points. Minnesota struggled to generate points. They are shooting 42.7% and have scored 62 or fewer points in three out of their last four games. I am looking for the defenses to shine in this one. The Gophers play at a slow pace and do not give up many points. Opponents are shooting just 37.6% against the Gophers. Both teams rank near the bottom in adjusted tempo as well. The under is 5-1 in the Gophers' six games on the season.
