Quick Lane Bowl Predict the Score Thread: Minnesota vs Bowling Green

[Porthead]

Yeah, I agree. Was very pessimistic, but now am feeling better.

Bowling Green season - with final record of opponents

Liberty - L - (13-0)
E. Illinois - W - (8-3 FCS)
Michigan - L - (13-0)
Ohio - L - (10-3)
Georgia Tech - W - (6-6)
Miami OH - L - (11-3)
Buffalo - W - (3-9)
Akron - W - (2-10)
Ball State - W - (4-8)
Kent State - W - (1-11)
Toledo - L - (11-2)
West Michigan - W - (4-8)

one win over an 8-3 FCS team. one win over a 6-6 FBS team. the other five wins came over teams with losing records (avg of 2.8 wins).

Strength of schedule rankings vary depending on the system used, but MN by any measure had a much stronger SOS compared to Bowling Green.

on Action Network, Gophers are a 4.5-point favorite. Over/under set at 38.5 - so Gophers projected to win something like 22-17 to cover and hit the over, or 21-17 to not cover and hit the under.

FINAL: MIN 20, BGSU 10

Cole Kramer hands the ball off about a trillion times, and this works to great success in the first half as Darius Taylor and Jordan Nubin run the ball down the defense's throats while holding Bowling Green to just an early-possession TD. BGSU adjusts to the run game in the second half, but the Gopher defense holds strong and keeps them out of the game.

Let’s see a halfback pass

π / π

There is some dispute whether your score is rational or irrational, but I favor rational.
I, however, am thinking more Gophers 3.18π, Bowling Green 1.05πe, unless we have a passing game going. Then Gophers go to 2.88πe.
