Michigan lost a tough game on the road to a Minnesota team that had zero Big Ten wins, but the Wolverines are still one of the best teams in the nation. 7-0 Center, Danny Wolf is one of the most versatile players in the nation with his ability to play in the post and on the perimeter. Michigan is a very well-balanced team that has been playing at a high level in the Big Ten. The Wolverines are 5-1 in the Big Ten and are 8-0 at home this season. Northwestern snapped a three-game win streak with their win over Maryland but the Wildcats have struggled to pull out wins in Big Ten play. Northwestern is 2-4 in the Big Ten and 0-4 on the road this season. The Wildcats are not a deep team and three players account for 70% of their scoring. Michigan will get back in the win column in this game as they have been dominant at home and in the Big Ten and are the better team on both ends of the floor. The Wolverines have scored 84 points or more in five of their six Big Ten games and have five players averaging 10 or more PPG. Northwestern will struggle to get stops on the defensive end and the Wildcats don't have enough scoring weapons to win this game. Take Michigan to stay undefeated at home and cover the spread.
