Minnesota vs Oregon Prediction
In this Minnesota vs Oregon Prediction, Oregon is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Minnesota has been the better team this season but have been terrible on the road with just one win in 8 road games. Both teams have been on a free fall lately, as they both are 1-9 in their last 10 games and 3-7 against the spread, so I am not touching a side in this matchup. Both teams are 11-5 to the under in their last 16 games combined, as both offenses have been struggling lately. Oregon has scored less than 66 points in four of its last six games and Minnesota 63 or less in four of its last six, so take the under 134.5 points in this one.
