Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Syracuse Orange Final Betting Prediction

Syracuse does not enter the game playing their best football. The ‘Cuse went 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 games. 

Not only that, but in those final 5 games, Syracuse’s defense fell apart versus offenses that aren’t as talented as Minnesota’s. The Gophers average over 28 points per game from over 404 yards each contest. 

Minnesota allows less than 14 points per game and the Gophers step it up in bowls. Anyway we look at it, Syracuse should be in some trouble on Dec. 29. The Gophers get the straight up and against the spread wins.
