A Big Ten matchup concludes Saturday’s Week 4 college football slate as the Washington Huskies (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) host the Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) at Husky Stadium for an 11 p.m. ET kickoff, with both teams opening conference play.
Minnesota began the 2026 season with a 59-7 win over Eastern Illinois but then fell to Mississippi State 38-13 before bouncing back with a 41-7 victory against Akron last Saturday. The Golden Gophers totaled 395 yards of offense against Akron, including 191 rushing yards, led by running back TJ Thomas with 122 yards and a touchdown.
Washington is looking to get back to the College Football Playoff after losing to Michigan in the National Championship Game during the 2023 season and is off to a good start with a perfect 3-0 record as it gears up for conference play.
The Huskies beat Eastern Washington 48-16 in Week 3 as quarterback Demond Williams Jr. threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver Dezmen Roebuck led the team with 121 receiving yards, tight end Baron Naone also eclipsed the century mark with 103 receiving yards, and wide receiver Rashid Williams caught two touchdowns in the win.

Washington vs. Minnesota Best Bet: Over 45.5 Points (-110)
Minnesota and Washington both scored over 40 points in their Week 3 wins and could carry that offensive momentum into Saturday night’s matchup at Husky Stadium.
Even with the win last week, Washington still allowed 315 total yards of offense to Eastern Washington and is allowing 276 yards per game so far this season. Minnesota’s defense has played fairly well this season but notably allowed 479 yards of offense to now-No. 24 Mississippi State, meaning it could struggle against a higher level of competition like Washington.
- Washington vs. Minnesota Total Pick for Sept. 26: Over 45.5 Points (-110)
