Minnesota vs Rutgers Preview, Prediction & Picks 11/9/2024

In the upcoming game between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on November 9, 2024, the Minnesota Golden Gophers are favored to win according to the opening betting odds. Minnesota is favored by six points, while the total for this game has been set at 46.5 points. In this preview of Minnesota vs Rutgers, find out what we think is going to happen when these Big Ten teams take the field against one another.

Minnesota Looks to Stay Red-Hot Against Scarlet Knights

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have caught fire of late in the Big Ten, winning four straight games to get to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big Ten. Their wins over USC and Illinois during this win streak were legitimately impressive, as the Golden Gophers defense has held their opponents under 20 points in three of their last four games. This week, Minnesota takes on a struggling Rutgers team with a chance to stay in the top-six in the Big Ten standings for another week.

Rutgers Hopes to Break Long Losing Streak

After a promising start to this season, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have fallen apart. They have lost four straight games, dropping to 4-4 overall and 1-4 in the Big Ten on the year. The Scarlet Knights have faltered primarily on offense of late, failing to reach 21 points in three of their last four games. If that does not change this week against a surging Minnesota team, Rutgers could have a losing record when this week is over.

Minnesota vs Rutgers Best Bet

It is impossible to justify taking Rutgers over Minnesota at this point in time. We will lay the points with the road favorite in this Minnesota vs Rutgers matchup, as the Golden Gophers are playing better on both sides of the ball at this point in time. Look for PJ Fleck’s team to add a seventh win on the season as they head into an idle week after this game is done.
