I didn't go to Northwestern, but I could've. I still always root for Northwestern Football.
Today the Wildcats are taking on their instate rival in Illinois at Wrigley Field of all places. It's the first college football game at Wrigley since the 1930's. ESPN is even there with Gameday this morning.
I love Northwestern getting 8 points today. Yes, they lost their starting quarterback last week, but I think this team will put together. I like them possible to win straight up, so getting the 8 points is welcome bonus.
In their last 10 meetings, Northwestern is 8-2 ATS over The Illini. Illinois is also 6-15 ATS their last 21 games on grass. This all means another exciting Northwestern win today. Take the Wildcats and enjoy the game at Wrigley.
