This Saturday, Athan Kaliakmanis and the Minnesota Golden Gophers will head to Ryan Field to take on Ben Bryant and the Northwestern Wildcats. Get our free CFB Predictions all season long! The Minnesota Golden Gophers enter this game against the Northwestern Wildcats following a brutal loss last weekend against the North Carolina Tar Heels, which resulted in a final score of 31-13.

Despite the Golden Gophers recent loss against the Tar Heels, Minnesota still has a winning record on the season as they have previously beat Eastern Michigan and Nebraska. In the game against the Tar Heels, Kaliakmanis didn’t have himself a good game, as he only completed 11 of his 29 passing attempts while throwing in zero touchdowns and one interception.

Ben Bryant and the Northwestern Wildcats enter this game at home against Athan Kaliakmanis and the Minnesota Golden Gophers following a brutal loss against the Duke Blue Devils this past Saturday, which resulted in a final score of 38-14. It is safe to say that the Wildcats offense and defense need to step up this Saturday.

The Northwestern Wildcats have now lost two of their three games played this season and will do everything they can to be .500 by the end of this weekend. In the Wildcats previous game against the Blue Devils, Wildcats quarterback Ben Bryant didn’t exactly play well, as he only completed half of his 34 passing attempts, while throwing in one touchdown and one interception.

Minnesota Golden Gophers -11

This game will be nothing short of a mismatch, as the Golden Gophers have been showing signs of promise in their three games this season, while the Northwestern Wildcats have been very dull on both sides of the ball so far. Expect Athan Kaliakmanis to have a bounce back game and to get his team the win. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Golden Gophers win 37-21.
