TFD: No respect for Gophers from those picking the Badgers game

The Gophers are already more than two-TD underdogs to Wisconsin, and those who just pick the games for sport aren't sold, either.

The Gophers are already more than two-TD underdogs to Wisconsin, and those who just pick the games for sport aren't sold, either, on their ability to defeat the Badgers on Saturday.

Two 8-2 teams go in ...

The line: Wisconsin (-15)

Bender: Wisconsin 35-23
Bianchi: Wisconsin 30-20
Bradley: Wisconsin 31-20
Carter: Wisconsin 34-20
Cooper: Wisconsin 34-17
Greenstein: Wisconsin 28-20
Griffith: Wisconsin 27-10
Hayes: Wisconsin 33-17
King: Wisconsin 31-24
Matter: Wisconsin 41-24

So six of the 10 at least like the Gophers to cover, but none like them to win and only one likes them to be within a touchdown.

We'll see if Minnesota can earn some more respect on Saturday.
