How coaches prepare their teams for Bowl Games is very important and PJ Fleck has been masterful winning all 4 Bowl Games as a Fav and pulling two outright upsets in their 4 Bowl games as a Dog. His Minnesota teams are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in the Bowls.

The Gophers are likely without 3 starters to opt out/portal, which is a low number, while VT may be down 14 starters for this game on Friday night.

There is no bigger discrepancy as far as bowl results go among these conferences as at ACC is 1-7 SU and 0-8 ATS in bowl games this season while the B10 is 2-2 SU and 3-1 ATS.

The Gophers finished 9-2 ATS while the Hokies went 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS as a small fav/dog.
MINN should roll in this one with almost their entire team playing.
