The Big House


The Wildcats travel to Ann Arbor to face the Michigan Wolverines at the Big House. The #2 ranked and undefeated Wolverines have both potent offense and defense, and have defeated strong Notre Dame, Iowa, and Wisconsin teams.

Michigan will be missing star receiver Mario Manningham, while Northwestern is missing defensive leader Nick Roach. Northwestern's offense woke up last week against MSU, as CJ Bacher returned from injury and ignited the air attack.

The official betting line is NU gets +30. While Michigan is a strong team, the Fish Head says take NU and the 30 points. On the big assumption that Bacher can have another big game and avoid the Michigan rush, NU should be able to score sufficient points to cover the line (but not win the game).
