The Minnesota Golden Gophers bring a 12-14 record and a 5-10 conference mark home against Rutgers. Rutgers is 11-15 and 4-11 in conference play. Neither of these teams is special on offense or defense, and with this being a well-matched game, I think both teams will try to fast-break for points as much as possible. Rutgers has been playing above the total as they are 5-1 to the OVER in their last six games. Minnesota has allowed three of its last five opponents to shoot 50% or better. Rutgers has gone 11-7 over in their last 18 games when posted as a dog. Make the play OVER the total.
