Minnesota at Michigan picks and predictions
Prediction
Minnesota 83, Michigan 76
Moneyline
BET MINNESOTA (+230).
Minnesota has been on a hot streak recently winning 8 of its last 10 games, including 5 in a row while covering in 7 of its last 8. Its only road loss this year came at the hands of a talented Ohio State squad. Michigan is just 3-3 at home this season while losing its last 2 at Crisler Center. It has been struggling of late going 3-7 straight up in its last 10 and 2-8 ATS in that span. Look for Minnesota to play with an extra edge as it tries to crack the top 25.
Against the spread
PASS.
The odds are better on the Golden Gophers to win outright. However, if you are not as confident about a Minnesota win, bet MINNESOTA +6.5 (-110). Minnesota is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 and 12-1 ATS on the season, facing a Michigan squad that is 2-8 ATS in its last 10.
