    Why does Northwestern always seem ....

    Like they are getting too many points ?

    Seems every week their line is off , like the books are giving away points with them.

    "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.

    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.

    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.
