Minnesota at Fresno State

Minnesota has a terrific coach in P.J. Fleck. The Gophers had one of the youngest teams in the nation in 2018 and still had a winning record along with a Bowl Game victory over Georgia Tech, 34-10. They topped South Dakota State in the opener and the Gophers have covered six of seven non-conference games, as well as being 14-4-3 ATS when following a spread loss. Minnesota is also 7-3 ATS against the Mountain West Conference and matches up well with a Fresno State team they beat last September, 21-14. Fresno had just 87 yards rushing (3.6 yards per carry) in that game while Minnesota ran for 132 yards and won the turnover battle. Fresno State stepped up against the bigger Pac-12 last week, losing 31-23 at USC, making this a tough situation and matchup for the home team. Play Minnesota.
