The Northwestern Wildcats are just 2-8 SU and ATS on the season and they're 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. They ended a seven-game skid with a 45-6 win over Massachusets last time out, but still failed to cover the 39.5-point spread.

Here they'll face an angry Minnesota Golden Gophers team looking to bounce back from its first loss of the season, and I don't see the Gophers giving Northwestern a chance to hang around in this one. Note that Minnesota is averaging a healthy 35.7 ppg while Northwestern is scoring a conference-low 14.5 points per contest. Gophers by 20 would not surprise me.

10* play on Minnesota Golden Gophers.
