Our Oregon Ducks vs Minnesota Golden Gophers Prediction
Oregon is more than a three-touchdown favorite in this game; however, given their recent play, Minnesota looks to be a solid betting option to keep this game close. The Ducks have covered the spread in just two of their six conference games this season, and are coming off a score against Iowa where they nearly were upset outright.
Minnesota, on the other hand, has covered in only one of their six conference games, but has only lost twice by more than three touchdowns. Simply put, Oregon has won five conference games by an average margin of 17.6 points per game, and only one of these wins came by more than 20 points. The Ducks have been inconsistent this season with putting teams away; therefore, our Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Oregon Ducks prediction is: Minnesota Golden Gophers +25.5.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
