After coming off their bye, the No. 6 Michigan Wolverines return to host the Northwestern Wildcats. The Maize and Blue enter Saturday’s contest undefeated and looking to extend that winning streak this weekend. Northwestern has had a shaky go of it so far this year with only one win in conference play. The Wolverines enter as the heavy favorite, with the numbers projecting them by 23.5 points.
Northwestern will be the third Big Ten crossover game in a row for the Maize and Blue. Of their three games in conference play, the Wildcats have shared opponents in Rutgers and Nebraska, with Rutgers being their one conference win so far.
