Wisconsin at Minnesota

These two teams have certainly played some exciting high-scoring games as the last nine have soared over the total. Wisconsin has been a steady program under Coach Brent Bielema as they have not dropped a bit under his regime at 32-11 in his 43 games. Minnesota coach Tim Brewster has gotten the Gophers program back on its feet with six more wins last year compared to the 2007-08 season. Wisconsin has always been a good, strong defensive team that runs the ball well, but finally they appear to have a competent QB in Scott Tolzien that can mix things up. Tolzien has thrown for eight TD passes already with just two picks, and is averaging 8.9 yards per attempt. The Golden Gophers struggled against Syracuse before winning in OT, had a battle with Air Force, and lost to California. QB Adam Weber has not been great with five TDs and five INTs, averaging just 6.9 yards per attempt. This will be just the fourth time the Gophers have laid points to Wisconsin, and they have never covered. Additionally they are just 4-14 SU and ATS against Wisconsin in their last 18 overall. This will be a close game, and the Badgers usually find a way to get it done.
