Current Record: 11-2

Best Bet: Northwestern +3.5 vs. Illinois

We’re backing the home team here playing against a completely newly rebuilt Illinois team playing in their first conference road game. This is a hostile environment for a team that has absolutely zero chemistry. Additionally, NW needs this game like blood after a terrible loss to Iowa just a few days ago. NW was up 2 when Iowa hit a 35 footer at the buzzer to steal the game from the Wildcats. It was a brutal beat, and you can believe they are going to be motivated to show up here. This is a gritty bunch with some veteran guys who have been at NW a couple years. Let’s back the WILDCATS here plus the points, and sprinkle a little on the ML if you are inclined to, as we have a LIVE DOG here.

Official Play: Northwestern +3.5
