Live scores, highlights and updates from the Minnesota vs. Michigan football game

Minnesota is on a four-game streak of home wins, while Michigan is on a five-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Minnesota Golden Gophers will take on the Michigan Wolverines at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Minnesota is expected to lose this one by 20 points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.

Minnesota gave up the first points last Saturday, but they didn't let that get them down. They walked away with a 35-24 victory over Louisiana.

Minnesota's win was a true team effort, with three players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Daniel Jackson, who picked up 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Those two receiving touchdowns set a new season-high mark for Jackson. Athan Kaliakmanis didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet, but he still finished with three touchdowns in total.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Michigan on the road against Nebraska on Saturday as the team secured a 45-7 victory. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 28-0.

J.J. McCarthy looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 156 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. McCarthy set a new season high mark in passer rating with 198.2. The team also got some help courtesy of Roman Wilson, who picked up 58 receiving yards.

Michigan's defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB four times. Leading the way was Josaiah Stewart and his two sacks.

Their wins bumped Minnesota to 3-2 and Michigan to 5-0.

Not only did both teams in this Saturday's contest win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. As mentioned, Michigan shouldn't be too worried about this matchup, as the experts have them favored by 19.5 points. Against the spread, they have been a house darling this year with a chancy 1-4 ATS record.
