The Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-2) will welcome the Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-4) to TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff slated for around 2:30 p.m. Central time.
Here is your guide for the game, with odds and a broadcast map.
Point Spread: Minnesota (-2)
Over/Under: 47.5 (Vegas Insider.com)
TV: ESPN2
Announcers: Eamon McAnaney (play-by-play, Rocky Boiman (analyst)
Radio (Minnesota)-KFAN-100.3 FM (Gopher Radio Network)
Announcers: Mike Grimm (play-by-play), Darrell Thompson (analyst), Justin Gaard (sideline)
Radio (Nebraska)-KLIN-1400 AM (Lincoln), KXSP-590 AM (Omaha)
Home field gives Minnesota the advantage in the point spread, however narrowly over a Nebraska squad that has lost four games by a total of 11 points. I’m hesitant to buy the over-under offered by Vegas Insider.com , since the Golden Gophers’ 41-point outburst last week game against Purdue and the Cornhuskers have really struggled offensively through two games of Big Ten play.
Michigan State vs. Michigan is the main Big Ten attraction in the 2:30 Central time window on Saturday, so Minnesota-Nebraska lands on ESPN2 with a lesser-known broadcast team. It is looking like a fairly pivotal game in the Big Ten West, as Minnesota could remain in the mix to win the division with a victory while effectively burying any chances Nebraska has to remain a factor.
