19. INSIGHT BOWL (Tempe)
Dec. 31/6 p.m. NFL Network
Minnesota Golden Gophers (Minneapolis/St. Paul) (6-6) (Big 10 Record: 3-5)
Head Coach: Tim Brewster
Key Players: None
Comments: 3-5 v bowl teams; 22-2-1 all-time v. Iowa State; 3rd straight Insight Bowel [stet] trip, losing to Texas Tech and KU last year. Rely on good defense and came from behind in 4th quarter of four out of six wins.
Iowa State Cyclones (Ames) (6-6) (Big 12 Record: 3-5)
Head Coach: Paul Rhodes
Key Players: Austen Arnaud, QB; Alexander Robinson, RB
Comments: 1-5 v. bowl teams; Arnaud is dual threat and Robinson was 3rd best rusher in Big XII; picked for Insight Bowel [stet] ahead of Mizzou.
Line: Minnesota -2½
My Pick: MINNESOTA wins and covers in a game few will watch New Years Eve on the NFL Network. Even fewer care about this one, eh.
