Week 6 College Football Odds: #2 Michigan at Minnesota. We have all watched enough games this season to have an opinion on who believe to be the best teams in NCAAF. | MyBookie Sportsbook | 2023 College Football Betting | Regular Season: August 26 to December 9 | Week 6: Wednesday, October 4 to Saturday, October 7, 2023

Those beliefs may not match up with how the top 25 looks at the moment, but at the end of the day, none of it really matters until the Playoff Committee comes out with their first rankings of the season, which is when the conversation really begins to heat up among fans and pundits. There are some who already believe that the Michigan Wolverines are the best team in the country, but they are still currently sitting behind Georgia and will likely stay there until the Bulldogs finally lose a game or get ranked lower by the committee. All Michigan can do is continue to win, which is what they will try and do on the road in Minnesota this weekend. Michigan is in as a 19 ½ point road favorite, with the total set at 46.

Why bet on the Michigan Wolverines

We are 5 weeks into the season, and you have to say that the Wolverines have yet to be seriously tested. They are a perfect 5-0 and a big part of that is due to the work of their defense, which has allowed a combined 30 points through those 5 outings. If defense does indeed win championships, then you have to say that Michigan is gearing up to be a major player in the playoffs this season. That said, I am reserving judgement until the tougher games on their schedule come around. For now, all they can do is play the next team up, which would lead you to believe that they are looking at another win this weekend. The Wolverines have won 9 of their last 10 meetings with Minnesota, as well as each of their last 7 road games overall. They are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 overall, but they have had some big spreads to overcome. The UNDER has hit in 4 of their last 5 games.

Why bet on the Minnesota Golden Gophers

With their win over ULL this past weekend, the Golden Gophers moved to 3-2 on the season, with a bowl berth likely being their ultimate goal this season. It’s hard to believe that they will move one step closer to that goal this weekend, though, as they look to be seriously outmatched in this one. Minnesota has crossed the 30-point mark in each of their last 2 games, but I have a hard time believing they will get into double digits against a smothering Wolverines defense. Home field doesn’t even seem like much of an advantage here, as Michigan has won in each of their last 9 visits to Minnesota. Over their last 6 games, the Golden Gophers have covered the spread just once, while the UNDER has hit in 6 of their last 7 in their own building.

I believe that we will see a similar performance from Michigan this weekend as we have seen all season, which means a comfortable win without giving up too many points. The total makes me nervous here, but I like the Wolverines to win and cover.
