What to watch for as USC meets Minnesota in this Week 6 college football game, with our updated prediction.
One of the Big Ten’s new-look conference games brought to us by realignment kicks off from the Twin Cities this weekend as No. 11 USC hits the road against Minnesota in college football’s Week 6 action on Saturday. Let’s check in with our updated prediction for the game.
Minnesota allowed 503 rushing yards to the Wolverines and Hawkeyes over its two initial conference games but faces a Trojan ground attack that is 88th in FBS so far. That allows the Trojans to dominate time of possession and gives them a decided edge against the Gophers, whose subpar ground game and midrange passing strategy are ill-equipped to consistently handle longer third down chances.Max Brosmer is broadly efficient throwing the ball, but he has as many TDs and INTs the last 3 games and the Gophers’ ground game is second-worst in the Big Ten when it comes to rushing yardage per game and posts all of 3.4 yards per carry.
USC is projected to win the game in the majority 71.8 percent of the computer’s most recent simulations.USC is projected to be 8.4 points better than Minnesota on the same field in both teams’ current composition, according to the model’s latest forecast.FanDuel lists the total at 48.5 points in the game.Most bets currently project that USC will handle Minnesota this weekend, according to the latest spread consensus picks, via Odds Shark.
