Northwestern vs. Michigan

Michigan is undefeated, but Northwestern is no slouch with a 6-2 record while covering the spread in five of their seven lined games. The Wildcats had won four straight before losing at Iowa on Tuesday, and they are shooting 48% from the field and 42.4% on 3-pointers. Also, the Wildcats defense holds opponents to a .390 field goal percentage while Northwestern already owns wins over Michigan State, Indiana, and Ohio State. The Wildcats had several close losses last season, but with three starters back this year, they're much-improved this year. Michigan comes off a big win at Maryland, but the Wolverines otherwise haven't played a great schedule, and all but two of their games have been at home. Play Northwestern.
