- Northwestern is a much better offensive team and that should help them to stay close to Rutgers throughout.
- Northwestern has lost two straight road games, but both went to overtime, including one against second-ranked Purdue.
In Thursday’s Northwestern vs Rutgers matchup in the Big Ten, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are favored by 4.5 points on their home floor. But the Northwestern Wildcats are our pick to cover the number in what should be a highly-competitive game throughout. The Wildcats are much better on the offensive end of the floor, led by Boo Buie, who averages 18.8 points per game. Look for Buie to make some big shots in the second half of this game to keep Northwestern in contention, regardless of which team ends up coming away with the win in the end.
