Vegas Play of the Day: San Jose State at Minnesota

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

San Jose State at Minnesota, Total Under 51: $550 to win $500: Minnesota scored just seven points last week in losing at TCU. I expect another low-scoring affair, especially since San Jose State is coming off a bye week and will need a quarter to get its offensive momentum back.

Minnesota have given up 24 points per game in three contests this season and San Jose State is 85th nationally in points scored at 27.5 per contest. That screams to the under. It also means Minnesota will have to handle a bulk of the scoring to cover the over, which I don’t see happening.

Minnesota is a minus-10 point favorite and I expect the game to be decided by a field goal — another indicator the points under is a good play.

Standings: Bern (46-37-1, $12,731), Keefer (42-44, $10,261), Brewer (36-45-3, $4,125)
