    Northwestern+14/+519

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

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

    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?

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