Michigan should rely on its run game to beat the Wildcats since their passing attack has been inconsistent. Northwestern at home this season is 4-1 SU and ATS, but this game is at Wrigley, technically a neutral field. The Wolverines are 1-4 ATS in its last five games and has struggled to cover as double-digit spread favorites this season, 0-4 ATS. Four of the last seven games in their series have been decided by one score.

Michigan has not been good on the road this season. They've lost to Oklahoma and USC by multiple scores, and barely survived Nebraska. They beat up on Michigan State, but Northwestern's a much better team than the Spartans. Michigan should win, but that doesn't mean it will.

Since I can't bet the Cubs until late March -- not sure I will presuming Kyle Tucker is long gone -- I will not deny myself a Wrigley Field play in November. I am clearly not getting a meaningful Cubs baseball game there anytime soon. And probably ever in November :( U-M has not covered in the past two and is 1-3 ATS away. I'd rather bet teams I know. And I know Michigan very well. I'd expect something like 21-13 but really not a score guy. #67. So sad I just learned that and came from a random college basketball game where kids were going bonkers when a team hit 67 points on the nose. I like 9-10 as it's bowling. #kingpin
