NORTHWESTERN vs. MISSOURI
PLAY: MISSOURI -12
Over the years Northwestern has been a good barometer for the strength of the Big 10 conference. Because of their high academic standards, when Northwestern’s football team earns a Bowl bid it’s generally a sign that the Big 10 is having a down season. The Bowl results reflect this, both in terms of Northwestern’s individual results and those of the Big 10 a s a whole. Over the past 20+ seasons Northwestern has been to just 5 Bowls. Those appearances came between 1995 and 2005. Northwestern is 0-5 straight up and 1-4 ATS in their Bowls, losing by an average score of 47-28. In those same 5 seasons the Big 10's Bowl record is 14-20 straight up and 11-23 ATS. Missouri is in their fourth straight Bowl, having won in 2 of the past 3 Bowls. In each of the 3 Bowls Missouri scored exactly 38 points and this bowl should feature plenty of scoring by both teams as each team’s offense is a strength whereas the defenses have been weaknesses. To be fair, Mizzou faced much tougher competition in the Big 12 than Northwestern did in the Big 10. Both teams faced Illinois this season. Missouri opened the season with a neutral site 52-42 win over the Illini in a game featuring nearly 1,100 yards of total offense, nearly evenly divided. Northwestern ended their season with a 27-10 home win over Illinois in a game in which the total yards were again almost evenly divided. Missouri played the overall tougher schedule – their 13 foes were a combined 83-63 S/U and 78-59 ATS. Northwestern’s foes were just 69-75 S/U and a poor 55-64-4 ATS. Missouri has outstanding talent at the skill positions including QB Daniel and TE Macklin who should give the NW defense problems. There was only one true offensive powerhouse in the Big 10 this season, Penn State, and Northwestern did not have to face them this season. Given the potency of the Missouri offense and the fact that Mizzou has faced far tougher competition, combined with the poor Bowl record of Missouri, suggests Missouri should be able put plenty of points on the board and ultimately get clear of the impost. To be sure, Missouri will also surrender its share of points but in the end Missouri will distance itself from the Wildcats in a high scoring game. The call is for Missouri to win by from 17 to 21 points.
