Taking MINNESOTA here. Uh. Hate taking faves, but I will swallow this here. I faded Colorado State in Game 1 (44-7 Colorado rout) and I won't look back. This team is bad. Yes. I don't take stock in their 3rd QB of the year beating Northern Colorado. Road start in Big 10 country? With the Gophers with extra rest? Rodney Smith and Kobe McCary are a pair of bruising backs behind a smash mouth OL. QB Mitch Leider is a dual threat guy who will cause problems for the Rams. 1st road game for Colorado State and I am sold on Minny. 4* Money Maker MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS
