What you need to know about Minnesota

Minnesota came up short against Ohio State last Thursday, falling 45-31. A silver lining for Minnesota was the play of RB Mohamed Ibrahim, who rushed for two touchdowns and 163 yards on 30 carries. However, Minnesota's star running back will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a lower-leg injury in last week's loss to the Buckeyes. 

Despite losing Ibrahim, Minnesota will enter Saturday's contest confident it can secure a big win. That's because the Golden Gophers are 7-0 in their last seven games against an opponent from the Mid-American Conference. In addition, Minnesota is 5-1-1 against the spread in its last seven games when playing as the favorite.

What you need to know about Miami (OH)

Meanwhile, the afternoon started off rough for Miami (OH) last Saturday, and it ended that way, too. The RedHawks were completely outmatched by the Cincinnati Bearcats on the road and fell 49-14. Miami (OH) was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 35 to zero. Quarterback AJ Mayer had a pretty forgettable game, passing for only 109 yards on 28 attempts.

The RedHawks have lost 16 consecutive games against an opponent from the Big Ten. However, Miami (OH) is 4-1 against the spread in its last five games played on a Saturday.
