Keep reading to get our thoughts on Northwestern vs Michigan in the Big Ten.

Can Northwestern Generate Offense In Ann Arbor?

Northwestern is 4-6 overall coming into Saturday's game against the Michigan Wolverines. Another loss would take Northwestern out of the bowl picture, which is what oddsmakers expect to happen in this matchup in the Big Ten. The Wildcats have dropped three of their last four games, with their only win in that span coming in overtime against a Purdue team without an FBS win on the season. Northwestern's offense ranks in the bottom-10 in college football in scoring this season and they could have trouble finding the end zone again here.

Michigan Looks to Shake Off Recent Struggles

Michigan has dropped four of its last five games to fall to 5-5 on the season. This game is key for Michigan's bowl hopes, as they face Ohio State in their final game of the regular season. Should Michigan lose this game, they would be in grave danger of being a huge underdog against their rivals next week and falling to 5-7 with a loss to the Buckeyes. Michigan's offense is only slightly better than that of Northwestern this season, but they will hope that being slightly better is good enough to get a win here.

Northwestern vs Michigan Prediction

Our best bet for Northwestern vs Michigan is for the under to cash in Ann Arbor. Both of these offenses have been just dreadful this season and we don't expect that to change as they go up against stout defenses this week. Look for this game to be a slog for both offenses, as both teams should play conservatively while trying to win the field position battle, which will only help the under.
