The Golden Gophers were one of the most underrated teams in the Power Five this season, boasting an excellent defense ranked top-30 in EPA/pass and EPA/rush allowed. Virginia Tech, meanwhile, will enter this game without several key players on both sides of the ball, and quarterback Kyron Drones could remain out with an injury. Back the Gophers as the more intact team on the heels of a quietly impressive season.
Virginia Tech closed the regular season by losing three of four both outright and ATS, and was reduced to using a third-string quarterback in the finale due to injuries to the top two QBs on the depth chart. Minnesota has won five of seven, has covered in seven of eight, and coach P.J. Fleck is unbeaten in bowl games.
Gotta tell you why I am an idiot. Put a chunk of change on Virginia Tech to win the National Championship at like 250/1. Sadly, that will now be a donation to my favorite sportsbook.
Tech lost QB1 Kyron Drones and QB2 Collin Schlee. Now they'll have to send freshman William Watson out to fight Minnesota. Not over the moon about this game, but after watching the Golden Gophers cover seven of the last eight, Minny is worth a few pennies.
