UL Lafayette has picked off where it left off after earning a bowl berth in Michael Desermeaux's first season as coach and the Ragin' Cajuns are 3-1 after defeating Buffalo 45-38 although they almost blew a 45-24 lead against the Bulls. Redshirt freshman quarterback Zeon Chriss made his first collegiate start and was 22 of 29 for 249 yards and a TD with one interception. Chriss will be the starter going forward as Ben Wooldridge is out with a foot injury. Dre'lyn Washington ran for 103 yards on 13 carries for the Cajuns, who have a stout offensive line and they are #17 in the country in total offense yards and #4 in rushing yards per game. Minnesota managed to get two wins over Nebraska and Eastern Michigan, but then lost to North Carolina and as an 11-point favorite to Northwestern in overtime and blowing a 21-point lead. Athan Kaliakmanis has thrown three TD passes and three interceptions this season for the Golden Gophers, who are 0-5 ATS their past five games overall and 0-5 ATS as favorites. The UNDER is 7-1-1 in Minnesota's past nine games on FieldTurf and the Gophers have gone UNDER seven of 10 overall dating to last season and the Ragin' Cajuns will focus on the run. Take UL Lafayette and make it a Max Play on the UNDER.
