Minnesota has been a red-hot wager in Big Ten play
Andrew Avery
With a victory over Northwestern on Saturday, the Minnesota Golden Gophers would improve to 10-5 over its last 15 Big Ten contests – matching the school’s best 15-game league stretch since Nov. 11, 1972-Oct. 26, 1974.
Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that the Gophers are 12-2 ATS in the previous 14 showdowns with opponents from the Big Ten.
The Gophers rattled off a record of 4-2 SU but 6-0 ATS to close Big Ten play in 2013 before going 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS last season.
For the trip to Northwestern, the Gophers are tabbed as 4.5-point road dogs.
