I'm really surprised it's that low. I would have put it closer to 10.

It's +6.5 now. Would not be surprised to see it climb higher.

Minnesota has won 4 in a row. They beat a ranked USC and Illinois. They torched Maryland. They beat UCLA who basically had us beat by the 4th quarter.

You have to ask yourself whether anything significant can be fixed by this defense over a bye week to stop them from being torched by a QB with a 70% completion percentage over that stretch with 7 TD's and 0 ints.

seems better then expected. Last game I will see in person this year unless I make it down to Maryland, or by some miracle there is post season game I can get to. I never bought into the pre-season hype, enjoyed some early strong performances, was crushed by the injuries and fall off in performance. I won't pretend to be able to guess what the vibe of the team is, but I hope they show up Saturday hungry to kick *** on every down and finish strong for themselves and the seniors.

IMO a lot depends on the availability of some of our best players that have been limited due to injury....Powell, Bailey, Lewis, Strong.

Doubtful. The same things have been wrong with the defense most of the year, and they haven't been corrected.

You forgot a very important guy,--- Monongai , looks like if he plays , he'll play hurt, if we're lucky.

Minn has had a big plus in turnover margin during their winning streak. We emphasize not turning the ball over. Don’t give them the game and I think we can keep it close into the 4Q.
