Free Betting Pick: Minnesota Golden Gophers +4
Nebraska has been a mess in Big Ten play and I just can’t get myself to trust them against a team they already lost to this season by 7 points. Minnesota is healthier than the Cornhuskers and has more to play for as they are still very much in the hunt for an NCAA Tournament bid. Minnesota wins win and cover ATS, 63-61.
