College Football Odds, Picks for Minnesota-Syracuse: The Big Betting Model Edge for Thursday’s Pinstripe Bowl

College Football Odds & Pick for Minnesota vs. Syracuse

*Odds as of Thursday morning

Thursday’s college football schedule gets underway with Minnesota taking on Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.

The Golden Gophers are double-digit favorites over the Orange, according to live college football odds, though the Pinstripe Bowl’s over/under is curiously low based on that spread.

With a total of just 44, is the smartest college football pick to take Syracuse and the points in what projects to be a lower-scoring game? Or is the over/under the college football pick that should interest savvy sport bettors?

Using Action Network’s college football betting model predictions, let’s answer these very questions.

College Football Prediction for Minnesota vs. Syracuse

The Minnesota vs. Syracuse total currently sits at 44, and Action Network’s College Football PRO Projections suggest that number is a bit too low.

We project this total at 46.3, resulting in a 2.4% edge for over bettors based on the widely-available 44.

Interestingly, while this total sits at 44 at most shops, it is as low as 43.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

So, as always, check in with the latest college football odds before locking in any bet, especially the Minnesota vs. Syracuse over for Thursday afternoon’s Pinstripe Bowl.

Is there a guarantee that a half-point of over/under line value will prove to be significant? Nope.

But is there any reason to leave that half-point sitting on the table for no reason other than failing to shop the market? Also a nope.
