1) Northwestern -6.5 - Michigan is 1-2 on the road, lone win at Clemson what seems like forever ago. Losses in the Big 10 by 19 at Wisky and 16 at Indiana. Northwestern is much better than Indiana, IMO. The only reason it is a somewhat scary play, is that Northwestern is an average defensive team. Michigan is going to hoist a lot of 3's, especially if Northwestern plays a lot of 1-3-1. I don't expect Michigan to use as much zone, since their man defense has improved and Northwestern shoots it so well from 3. Shurna's ankle also a bit of a concern.
Bottom line to me, Michigan is very young, on the road in the Big 10, and Northwestern needs to stack up W's for their tournament resume. Their sole home loss is to MSU by 3. I like a good home team vs. a bad road team. Edge in experience to Northwestern as well. Northwestern by 10.
Will add other two shortly.
