Northwestern got a big monkey off their backs a year ago by winning a Bowl Game. This is a program that has risen from the ashes of the Big-10 basement, to have now gone to five straight Bowl Games. They won 10 games last season, and are 16-5 in their last 21, including a 2-0 start this season vs. a pair of BCS Conference teams, putting up nearly 1,000 yards of offense in the process. Make no mistake - this team has arrived. This will be their first cupcake, and Northwestern just isn't the type of team to let up. As a result, they could find themselves covering by halftime. Western Michigan has lost a lot from a year ago, and are going to struggle this season in the MAC, let alone playing a team that could find itself in the top 10 by season's end. The Broncos have been over-matched in the Big-10 where they own a sour 2-8 ATS mark in their last 10. Northwestern is a cover machine at 17-4 ATS in their last 21, including 11-0 ATS after gaining 450+ yards. Under Pat Fitzgerald, the Cats know how to use momentum as this team is 13-5 ATS after back-to-back ATS wins. Go with the Wildcats.
