Minnesota vs Oregon Prediction
The current betting odds have Oregon listed as a 23.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oregon has looked really good in their games this season with their 8-1 record overall and their 5-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big Ten. They are off a ranked road win over Iowa 18-16 and that win is going to give them some momentum going forward. Meanwhile, Minnesota has looked good in their games this season with their 6-3 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them right in the middle of the Big Ten. They are coming out of their bye week after beating Michigan State 23-20, but they struggled to win that game as they did need OT and they have been in some scraps this year with some of the bad teams in their conference. They have also looked a lot better in their home games this year, but they are 0-3 in their road games and Oregon is one of the toughest places to play in the Big Ten. Oregon is currently ranked inside the top 10 and still looking to secure their spot in the playoffs. They haven't looked great in their last 2 games with some closer wins, but they will have a ton of momentum off that big road win over Iowa and Oregon has looked a lot better in their home games this season too. The best way to place a bet here is on Oregon to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

“I was just proud of the way we handled the moment. I had guys coming up to me during the game saying, ‘Coach, breathe.’ That was what I had been telling them all week. And for them to be able to come up and say the same thing to me, it just tells you they believed in what we were doing.” - Dan Lanning after his team’s win against Iowa in their last game.
