Northwestern+14/+519

[lakerboy]

Okay so the feeling is that Ohio State is all good to go. That's not true. They beat a soft Michigan team they always best at home. Nothing new happened. They are an inconsistent team. They aren't good on d. Northwestern always hangs around. The feeling is they barely beat Rutgers so they are not good at all.

Northwestern will give it there all. They might not win but they will cover.

3/1

[pavyracer]

Wrong team favored. Books made a big mistake.

[jjgold]

Northwestern was a tough team this year I don’t know if they have the offense of firepower though to keep up with Ohio State

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Laker, good luck. Happy holidays, pal.

[Wrongside]

I liked Northwestern this year. I don’t like their last two games. They didn’t really matter, guys sitting - just a weird vibe. Ohio State perhaps just the opposite. Finally unhitched the wagon, perhaps.

Ohio State is capable of making mistakes on virtually every defensive play. I like Northwestern’s Defense. So, we got that

[2daBank]

Ok I’ll give ya “they always beat Michigan” but don’t they always crush this game against the garbage winner of other side of big10?? Especially when they looking to get themselves another bs gift into playoff??

[ikid2groove415]

Ohio state have 2 much to play for here - NW gets crush

Teams fail all the time when they have a lot to play for. Although I do agree osu blows them out, just don’t like the reasoning here.

This^^^theyre gonna have to destory nw to be considered over oklahoma(assuming they win) no 1 or 2 score game will cut it

[ikid2groove415]

Ohio state gets gets in if they win by 1 point lol - I seen This process before -

[ikid2groove415]

OU isn’t getting the Nod over Ohio state - only way Oklahoma gets in? If Ohio st lose - it’s not happening...

Nah, will have to be a blowout, you do realize ou is ahead of ohio in the playoff rankings right?

[2daBank]

There no way osu jumps them unless this a ass beating (unless sooners lose of course) did NW even win a out of conf game?

^^^2dabank gets it!

[thomorino]

Northwestern doesn't have the offense to take advantage of the Ohio State's defensive issues, they don't have the offense Purdue or TCU does.

[ikid2groove415]

Guess ya don’t remember last year? Would anyone bitch if they didn’t vote Alabama in? It was 50/59 at best Bama getting in

[Venom72]

If bama loses theyll go to #4 most likely, knocking them out would be bullshit because there still the best team win or lose saturday, this is the best bama team in years

[thomorino]

If Bama loses a close game they'd be fine, the only issue would be if they lost by double digits and that won't happen.

[thomorino]

Its a dangerous game for Bama because they really aren't playing for anything, Georgia knows this game is their season, they will have fake punts and flea flickers ready.

[bonzaii]

NW will probably end up dinking and dunking there way to 21-24 points but will give up 35 +. There not going to do to Ohio St what Purdue and Maryland did to them. They don't have those kind of athletes.

[jtoler]

Teams fail all the time when they have a lot to play for.

exactly. dont know if state covers or not but hate when people say a team will do something because they need to get to such and such. out of the 20 teams that needed 6 wins to get to a bowl this week only 9 won their game.

[ChiLLx]

Northwestern is playing for their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1995. Pat Fitzgerald played for that team. Max motivation for NW

This is the night game. If Sooners and UGA both win (or just UGA), OSU might quit before kickoff

[lakerboy]

Still feel good here

[5mike5]

Like them as a longshot also.

Did i hear they havent lost by double digits? Even in loses stays very close

[Al Masters]

Why is this thread in NCAA BB forum.

Mods.. may want to ship it over to the
CFB forum.

Lost by 10 to ND. The most similar team to Ohio St.
Could go either way. NWestern has shown it on the field.
Ohio St hasn't but the teams that have kept pace have something on offense
Gonna have to rely on the just hang in there like they have all year approach
Wouldn't be surprised by either outcome
Taking small on NWestern
Don't see the winning
Hope they do

[5mike5]

Oh k thanks

Yeah feel the same way. Just hope to hang in there and hope buckeyes are flat post Michigan. Worth a shot to make it interesting

[jjgold]

Lol

[Shutup]

For those looking for hope on this play

If the Fav has a WP 25% or more than their opponent, they have failed to cover every time in database history.

Faves 0-12 ATS

[pavyracer]

Guys this is a good bet. Teams in championship games don't take risks. No need to run up the score.

[teecee]

N'western lost to Akron

[pavyracer]

N'western lost to Akron

And Ohio St needed OT to beat Maryland by 1 point and lost to Purdue. If Purdue and Maryland gave Ohio St trouble then why can't Northwestern?

[Shutup]

N'western lost to Akron

No one said they were a good favorite. Line up to 17

[jjgold]

Northwestern doesn't have the offense to take advantage of the Ohio State's defensive issues, they don't have the offense Purdue or TCU does.

thread over dead on

[teecee]

I was stating a fact, not debating. I'm not wagering on this game. I don't care who wins or covers
