Minnesota is 10-1 at home, and the Golden Gophers have improved since the start of the season even though they come off a tough, 59-57, loss at Michigan as a 12-point underdog. That followed a 65-64 win against Penn State, and the Gophers are playing well defensively allowing opponents a .431 field goal percentage. Iowa seemed to be doing well until it ran into Michigan State, which buried the Hawkeyes on their home court, 82-67, on Thursday. The Hawkeyes were held to 27 of 70 from the field while the Spartans lit it up shooting 52.9 percent. Iowa is 5-11-1 ATS its last 17 road games, and Minnesota has covered the spread four of the last five meetings. Also, Iowa is only 11-25-1 ATS its last 27 road games against teams with winning home records. Take Minnesota.
