The former NFL linebacker led the team to a bowl game last season, and will be making a post-season trip again, as they have chalked up seven wins, despite a 4-6 ATS record in the football betting odds. They could get one more here against Wisconsin, a team that has had problems when going out on the road, barely getting by Minnesota and Indiana while being decisively beaten at Columbus against Ohio State.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s worrisome from the Northwestern point of view is that the Badgers, who have the 16th-ranked running game in the country, has been even better than usual the last three weeks, as they have averaged 263 yards. Although the &#8216;Cats do a pretty decent job of limiting opponents to below four yards a carry, their big challenge will be to force Scott Tolzien (62.3%, 14 TD&#8217;s) to the air, which is something they prefer to do in order to have a better chance in the football betting odds. .<\/p>\n<p>We may actually afford an edge under center to Northwestern&#8217;s Mike Kafka, the blood-and-guts warrior who is better than his stats (66%, 10 TD&#8217;s) show. He&#8217;s made a particularly potent combo with previously unheralded Zeke Markshausen (76 catches, 737 yards), and if he could get something more out of the running game he&#8217;d be much more dangerous. Maybe Arby Fields, who had 50 yards last week, can help.<\/p>\n<p>The underdog has covered in the NCAA odds in eight of the nine games Northwestern has played. They showed us some guts, not just in the big comeback they had when they visited Indiana (down 28-3, they rallied for a 29-28) but also in the win over Iowa, followed by a win over Illinois, in what was a &#8220;letdown&#8221; situation. This team is clearly better than the sum of its parts, and we&#8217;ll expect something tight. That means we &#8220;take&#8221; with the Wildcats, the seven-point underdog in the BetUS NCAA football betting odds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OUR PLAY: NORTHWESTERN +7 ***<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">CFB BETTING SEASON  PROMO: A 100% match play bonus for 1st Time players Up To $500.
