Good news! We were perfect at picks last week. Bad news. Minnesota didn’t play great, and this forced a slight optimism downsize for this week’s predictions. Good news! This created a branding opportunity, as this week includes the inaugural Too Many Choices Pick, Presented By Waffle House*. Bad news. There aren’t any Waffle Houses in Minnesota so this really doesn’t make sense as a branding opportunity.
*Not actually presented by Waffle House, though we’re open to it!
This week’s thoughts
Blake Ruane: Fewer surprises for defensive coordinator Joe Rossi with some actual game film to work with, and the Gopher offense looks better but far from a finished product.
