Who does the public like in this game?
Michigan has been a bit of a wreck as of late, dropping four of their last five games. Northwestern has built a little momentum coming into this game, winning its last three games of the regular season. However, Northwestern’s wins came against the bottom of the conference and Michigan’s losses came against some of the best. The Wildcats are just 3-6-1 against the spread as an underdog this season while Michigan is 11-7 ATS as a favorite. The Wolverines tend to play well against the bad teams and should be able to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive today with a victory.
