Northwestern Wildcats

  • No. 13 Northwestern at No. 18 Michigan
  • Point Spread: Michigan -10

OK, this is really not an upset as Michigan is favored to win the game, but don’t tell that to Pat Fitzgerald and company. Northwestern is having a great start to the 2015 campaign with wins over Stanford, Duke, and Minnesota. However, this will be their biggest test to date by going on the road and playing in the Big House.

Jim Harbaugh has the Michigan faithful believing again.  Since losing to Utah in the opener, Michigan has run off four straight victories, but the Wolverines shouldn’t overlook these Wildcats heading into their showdown with in state rival and number 4 Michigan State just a week out.

Most of Chicagoland’s attention is focused on the Cubs and the current Stanley Cup Champion Blackhawks, but they might want to eventually flip the channel and check out this very good Northwestern football team that looks to stay undefeated. In this instance, the upset would be for the Wildcats to somehow manage a win in one of the toughest environments to play in.
