10* College Football Game of the Week
(NCAAF) Minnesota vs. Colorado, 09/18/2021 1:00 PM, Score: 30 - 0
Point Spread: 2.50 | 100.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Win
Colorado is coming off an emotion game vs Texas A&M last week.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers got their first win of the season last weekend,
Minnesota's offense was pretty anemic though, gaining only 287 total yards to 341 for Miami. I don't think they wanted to show much for this game.

Quarterback Tanner Morgan only threw the ball 12 times, completing 7 passes for 112 yards. He did have 2 touchdown passes. Both teams like to run the ball but we have a major edges with the Minn off and def lines.

Why Minnesota Will Win:
The Gophers have been outstanding on third downs converting almost 50% of the time.

They control the clock – holding the ball for close to 36 minutes a game so far – and they put themselves in good positions to manage their third down tries and they dont turn the ball over.

Colorado doesn’t have an efficient enough passing game to do a whole lot of damage, and the offense has struggled to get going so far this season. Minnesota is the more rounded team even with their start RB out. We are getting 2.5-3 points and I like the Gophers to come away with a win here.
