Gopherhole posters 2018 prediction thread


6-6 overall, 3-6 Big Ten

Low end bowl game, win vs a G5 team, to end 7-6.
 

BleedGopher:

8-4 (5-4 in the Big Ten; we finally beat wisconsin)

Bowl Game: Win vs NC State to go 9-4.

Go Gophers!!
 


7-5 (4-5)

Will win at least one game that most have them losing (not Ohio State or Wisconsin though), but will also lose one game that will cause GH to want Fleck fired on the spot....

Bowl Game: Pinstripe Bowl (no idea on opponent)
 



6-6 (3-6) to 8-4 (5-4) barring key injuries. They'll make it to a bowl game.
 

Enough for a rematch bowl bid against WSU Cougars somewhere warm out west.
 

Man this year and last have been hard to predict.

16-0

+ or - 16

We lose the West in heartbreaking fashion in Madison in a nationally televised game on the last weekend of the season, but bounce back and win a NYD bowl game.

5-7 End of season is better than last year as we are play NW tough and actually put up some points vs. Wisc., while holding them to 4 scores leading to a more positive outlook heading into the off season.

I agree, except I'm expecting a W at Maryland and a L to Iowa.

Is your W against Iowa just a pure guess, otherwise what is your reasoning/hope for that one, other than it being homecoming?
 

6-7, loss to Western Michigan in a bowl game.

Here's a bold prediction: 6-6-1

Gophers go 3-0 in NC, 3-6 in B1G, then the coaches/refs decide to end the Bowl Game after the 37th overtime due to lack of interest. :)

I am serious about the 6-6 part though.
 

Realistically, I say 7-5 or 6-6. If we get lucky maybe 8 wins, with 9 wins possible if all the dominoes fall into the right places. If QB play is the same as last year, then I could see us miss a bowl game and go 5-7. I don't think we'd regress enough to go below that.

I'm gonna revisit my predictions after non-conference, Having three games to see the team will help me predict the outcomes of the Maryland and Iowa games, then after those I'd be able to give a final prediction on the year. Potential to go 5-0 to start the season, which would make me very hopeful for the rest of the season.
 

A few posters now are predicting a homecoming win vs Iowa.

I'm just wondering why that is the case, this year? Homecoming magic in the air ... ?

As it has been for many years, the line between 5 wins and 8 wins is razor thin. If they stay healthy, I think they can win 7 or 8 this year. If they have too many injuries, especially at our thin positions, they may only win 5. I think the offense will be much improved, and the defense will remain solid. This team will get better as the season goes on.

7-5 (5-4)
