Minnesota Football vs Illinois Fighting Illini: Staff Predictions

Hey, so 0-2 is exactly where we all thought the Minnesota Golden Gophers were going to be coming into Illinois Fighting Illini week. Right? RIGHT?

Anywho, the rough start has dampened some of our staff’s picking vibes. Hey, it happens.

The Predictions

This Week’s Thoughts

GoAUpher: I’m going to keep picking Minnesota, because they’re gonna win eventually. Illinois seems like a good bet for that to happen given their pass defense is atrocious. One would hope that when they inevitably stack the box with 9 guys that the Gophers have learned to call passes.
