Betting Preview
Golden Gophers Must Get Stops

If you have seen a NCAAF Golden Gophers score this season then you have seen how inconsistent they have been. Minnesota has gone 5-5 through the first 10 games, but it’s hard to know which Golden Gophers team you are going to see.
Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis will need to be great in this game for the Golden Gophers and he has thrown for 1,582 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. Minnesota will need to hit on a ton of big plays, but they also need to spend some time running the football.
Minnesota has struggled to win games on their NCAAF schedule this season against teams with a great offense, and that is what they are facing on Saturday. The Golden Gophers have not proven that they can slow the best teams down, and that is going to create some major challenges against the Buckeyes.
Buckeyes Great on Offense

The NCAAF Ohio State schedule has been pretty light at times this season, but the Buckeyes continue to make the plays when needed. Ohio State has won three straight games by at least two touchdowns after picking up a tight win over the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Quarterback Kyle McCord has thrown for 2,687 yards and 20 touchdowns this season and has also done a great job of taking care of the football. Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a superstar as well as he has 59 receptions for more than 1,000 yards in 2023-24.
This Ohio State Buckeyes defense doesn’t always get a ton of credit, but they just continue to make big plays when needed. Look for the Buckeyes to be aggressive in this one as they will try to force some turnovers by the Golden Gophers.
