"Last year Northwestern was my favorite team to watch and evaluate, seems like the books just never gave them enough credit.. Their coach is a future superstar,"

Michigan state playing to be bowl eligible.

Michigan state has good defense. With a semi- good qb, they coulda easily been a 9 win team right now

They have a lot of over-rated Big Ten teams who take tons of square money on their schedule.

First two arguments are correct, and the last two are a mile off.

9 win team? they can barely score 9 points in 4 qtrs.

I totally agree.

Lost to Nebraska On a last second play. Other losses were 1 possession losses

Nebraska loss was a robbery, agreed. The refs stole that from Mich St.

The rest are b/c that offense is horrific.

Can Mich St cover here, of course. Would I bet on it, hell no. Northwestern, as they have for the past two years, do enough to lose close games. Sometimes they even blow the lead. I can not remember that last game Northwestern played as an underdog that was not entertaining, and not go to the last play.

I don't get it either. Betting NW has been like printing money and now they're catching too many points against a one dimensional offense. Northwestern's offense good at getting outside and away from MSU's strength which is the middle of their line and Fitzgerald a very good coach.

what duff said and stigma of sucking. also they are looked at as a "system" type team, mano e mano they dont really match up with the other conference teams.

Should have let the forum know about this earlier

NW ML

.. too easy

NW is a quality squad this year but they get it because of their past and the fact that they blew 4th quarters/OT this year.

They are gettig as disrespected as KSU was last year.
