The Golden Gophers won this bowl game in 2018 and are focused on defending it successfully. The Tigers, on the other hand, will look to win their second bowl game in a year\u2019s span, having won the Music City Bowl in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click here to make your 2020 Outback Bowl picks<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Betting Preview for the Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Auburn Tigers Outback Bowl Game on January 1 2020<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Where<\/strong>: Raymond James Stadium, Tampa<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>When<\/strong>: Wednesday, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 2020, 1:00 PM ET<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Line<\/strong>: Minnesota Golden Gophers (+7) vs. Auburn Tigers (-7) \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">view all 2019 NCAAF lines<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>TV Broadcast<\/strong>: ESPN<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Minnesota Golden Gophers (10-2 Overall \/ 7-2 Conference)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Gophers had their College Football Playoff dreams squashed with two late-season losses to the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Wisconsin Badgers, but what they\u2019ve done so far this season can\u2019t be overlooked. The Golden Gophers started the season like a house on fire with nine-straight wins, a stretch that includes their loud win over then no. 4 Penn State Nittany Lions at home on Nov. 9, 31-26. The Golden Gophers are being led by their offense that has a pair of NFL talents downfield. Quarterback Tanner Morgan has shown that he is capable of maximizing them downfield, as he\u2019s thrown for 2,975 passing yards and 28 touchdowns against six interceptions this year, and also owns a 66.1 completion percentage. The two receivers we\u2019re talking about are Rashod Bateman and Tyler Johnson, who both have over 1,100 receiving yards in 2019 with 11 touchdown grabs each. Auburn is battle-tested against powerful offenses in the SEC, but they were torched in previous games by the passing attacks of the LSU Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Golden Gophers are 6-3-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Auburn Tigers (9-3 Overall \/ 5-3 Conference)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tigers have lost three times this season, but those were all against teams ranked 10th or higher at the time of those games. Additionally, they were competitive in all of those matchups; they only lost to the LSU Tigers by three points and to the Georgia Bulldogs by seven. The other was a 24-13 setback at the hands of the Florida Gators. Compared to the Golden Gophers\u2019 schedule, the Tigers\u2019 is unquestionably tougher. The Tigers will enter the Outback Bowl unfazed of a Minnesota team with questionable ability to get things done when up against ranked opponents. Sure, the Tigers have three losses to Top 25 teams, but they have also defeated the likes of the Oregon Ducks, Texas A&amp;M Aggies, and even the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Iron Bowl. The Tigers\u2019 pass rush will be key against Minnesota\u2019s offensive line that is in the bottom third in terms of pass protection in the nation, having allowed 30.0 sacks in the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tigers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auburn wins, 31-24.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click here to make your 2020 Outback Bowl picks<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"162754\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,808&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Golden Gophers and the Auburn Tigers are set to do battle in Tampa, as they will face off in the Outback Bowl.
