One last time for this pandemic football season, we’re giving predictions. In what may be the final game for many notable Wildcats, No. 14 NU (6-2 B1G) takes on Auburn (6-4) in Orlando, with the New Year’s Day kickoff set for noon CT on ABC.

Big scary SEC, right? I’m not so sure in this matchup. Northwestern seemingly has more to play for, and a win would mean a lot to the program and cap a very positive year. RCB has another notable performance, and look for Tommy Adebawore to stand out with no Eku Leota.
