Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech

QUICK LANE BOWL - Minnesota worked hard to get to this bowl, winning three of its last five. The Gophers have been impressive, beating Indiana (38-31), Purdue (41-10), and Wisconsin (37-15), the latter two as dogs of +10 and +11. The offense has been clicking behind mobile QB Tanner Morgan, while the defense turned things around when Joe Rossi was elevated to interim defensive coordinator November 3. Minnesota allowed only total 49 points in its final three games. Minnesota has covered five straight non-conference games and coach P.J. Fleck is 19-6 ATS in non-conference tilts. They are a dog to a run-oriented Georgia Tech offense, but the defense is terrible allowing 28.9 per contest. Georgia Tech is #80 in the nation in points allowed and #49 in run defense surrendering 149.8 yards per game. The Yellow Jackets have allowed 27 or more points in four of their last five and are 3-7 ATS following a loss of more than 20 points. Georgia Tech is also 14-28 ATS after two or more consecutive games over the total. Play Minnesota.
