Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Minnesota Golden Gophers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Rutgers heads into this matchup with a lot of momentum, having won six of their past seven games. However, this is still a club that is just 1-5 on the road and may struggle offensively, as we witnessed in a recent defeat at Penn State when they only scored 49 points.

Minnesota is a stronger team, and I believe their defense will cause problems for Rutgers on the road. I believe the option here is to pick Minnesota to cover this tiny home spread. The Minnesota Golden Gophers will win to a predicted score of 67-64.
