Las Vegas - Heading down to Charlotte for the Mayo Bowl featuring Minnesota against Virginia Tech. First a quick confession about the Mayo Bowl. It IS my FAVORITE bowl game. Why? My nickname is BIG MAYO! I will put mayo on everything from a tuna sandwich to a meatball sub. Yea, my wife almost divorced me when she found out about my mayo addiction. Enough about me. Lemme tell you why the line has moved from an open of -4 to Minny now -8.5 (DraftKings) or -9.5 (FanDuel) depending on where you shop. Tech lost QB1 Kyron Drones and QB2 Collin Schlee. Now they'll have to send freshman William Watson out to fight Minnesota, unless Schlee makes a quick recovery. No QB problems in Minnesota. Senior Max Brosmer is not a superstar and will probably not be drafted, but the kid is solid and doesn't make too many mistakes. Brosmer is completing 66.8% of his passes, has gobbled up 2,617 yards with 17 TDs and 5 INTs. Even better, in his last seven games, Max has thrown 11 TDs against only 1 INT. After watching the Golden Gophers cover seven of the last eight (88%), and win SEVEN STRAIGHT bowl games, we gotta believe that Minny is worth a few pennies in this spot.
