The Northwestern Wildcats (3-3, 1-2 Big Ten) and Michigan Wolverines (6-0, 3-0) tussle in a Big Ten crossover game Saturday at noon ET at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. Below, we look at the Northwestern vs. Michigan odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
Northwestern heads to Ann Arbor fresh off a 21-7 win over Rutgers. NU allowed just 222 total yards in the contest, its fewest against an FBS foe since Oct. 24 (207 vs. Maryland). And now the winless-on-the-road (0-2) Wildcats return to the Big House, a place they haven’t seen since 2015.
The Wolverines come in off a bye week. They squeaked by a game Nebraska Cornhuskers foe, 32-29, two weeks back to remain undefeated on the season. UM ranks in the nation’s top-15 in both scoring and scoring defense. The Wolverines had held five straight opponents under 5.0 yards per play until the ‘Huskers registered a 7.2-yard average on Oct. 9.
