conclusion
This is a bit of an oversimplification, but on defense and in the running game, it appears Syracuse's ceiling is higher than Minnesota's. But the Gophers are the infinitely more steady team and are therefore the safe bet. Syracuse is volatile, Minnesota is consistent, and it wouldn't surprise me if this game were a blowout in either direction. The smart money is probably on the Gophers, but there's no such thing as smart money when Syracuse is involved.
