The time has come once again where college football fans all over the globe are ready to kick off another season – Welcome to the beginning of a new College Football campaign. On Thursday, August 29th the first week of college football picks will begin as Pickswise, the home of free College Football Picks dives into the winning picks of South Dakota Jackrabbits vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Against The Spread Pick
Minnesota kicks-off their 2019 schedule by hosting South Dakota State at TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. The Jackrabbits have struggled in their last nine games, with only one win in that span. The Gophers are coming off a solid season where they were able to win seven games, including a bowl victory. Minnesota enters this game having won two games in a row to end last season. South Dakota State is 4-1 ATS in their last five games, while Minnesota is 4-2 ATS in their last six. Tanner Morgan will start at quarterback for the Gophers and will look to build on a strong freshman season. Morgan and a strong group of running backs will make the difference in this game, and that will help lead to the Gophers covering the spread.
Over Under Pick
The total for this match-up is 56, and that seems pretty reachable if the Gophers and Jackrabbits can both post near what they were able to put up in the final two games for both teams last season. South Dakota State put up 41 points apiece in their final two games last season. While Minnesota was able to score 34 and 37 respectively in their final two games. That included victories over Wisconsin and Georgia Tech. The Jackrabbits should be able to hang around for a while, but Minnesota will pull away in the second half. Take the over in this one.
