Minnesota ATS was the clear-cut choice until the line crept into double digits, so let's ride with an Under. RB Sean Tucker, who accounted for the bulk of Syracuse's running yards, has opted out. The Gophers' rush D is the 15th strongest, so ground yards will be scarce for the Orange. Worse for the 'Cuse, left OT Matthew Bergeron sits. Minnesota will hand off to tireless RB Mo Ibrahim all day, and then some. The Gophers embrace ball control and defense late in the season; its last seven outings have gone Under.

The weather is always a question in the Pinstripe Bowl, but it won't be the primary factor in what will be a very low-scoring game. The Orange are without their best player in running back Sean Tucker and they've had to move some things around on their offensive staff as well. The Golden Gophers have been without star quarterback Tanner Morgan since early November and, while backup Athan Kaliakmanis has been decent, it's not like they're an explosive offense to begin with. The Over has only cashed in three of Minnesota's games this year, and that trend won't change.
