1) Northwestern -6.5 - Michigan is 1-2 on the road, lone win at Clemson what seems like forever ago. Losses in the Big 10 by 19 at Wisky and 16 at Indiana. Northwestern is much better than Indiana, IMO. The only reason it is a somewhat scary play, is that Northwestern is an average defensive team. Michigan is going to hoist a lot of 3's, especially if Northwestern plays a lot of 1-3-1. I don't expect Michigan to use as much zone, since their man defense has improved and Northwestern shoots it so well from 3. Shurna's ankle also a bit of a concern.

Bottom line to me, Michigan is very young, on the road in the Big 10, and Northwestern needs to stack up W's for their tournament resume. Their sole home loss is to MSU by 3. I like a good home team vs. a bad road team. Edge in experience to Northwestern as well. Northwestern by 10.

Will add other two shortly.

northwestern scares me.dont know what team will show up

[smarsh816]

yea they played there heart out against msu i could see a let down

There could be a "let down." But I will put my $ on a good home team against a young and poor road team.

Going against better judgment and betting a game Tennessee is involved in. Like the way Georgia has played the last 3 games, even in the loss to Vandy (which they covered). Adding Georgia -4, and DePaul +19.5.

I tend to agree, Michigan is just so incredibly young and Beilein has a nasty habit of getting out-coached by Carmody. The last two meetings, NW has shot over 60% from 3, winning both by double digits, including @ Crisler where Michigan was up by 17 right before halftime. Michigan doesn't have the athleticism to guard against what NW does nor do they have the ball handler who can break a press and crack a 1-3-1 zone. You can tell because of the monster games Drew Crawford and Luka Murkovic have had against Michigan as of late.
