Premium Pick

This is a rare battle of unbeaten teams in November. Penn State is doing it with defense, second in the nation allowing 9.6 points per game, ninth in yards allowed, and second in rush defense. Penn State is on a 7-1 run UNDER the total in Big 10 play and faces a Minnesota defense that is #13 in yards allowed, #22 in points (20 points per game). The offense is about running the football, which chews up yards and the clock. Senior RB Rodney Smith has rushed for at least 100 yards in all five Big 10 games for the league's third-ranked ground game (204.5 yards per game). The Golden Gophers have covered five of six against winning teams, along with a 33-16-2 ATS run in November. Back the home dog in a defensive slugfest. Play Minnesota and the UNDER for a Max Play.
