Northwestern Hits the Road For the First Time

The Northwestern Wildcats are 2-1 to start their 2024 campaign, having played all three of their games at home. This week, the Wildcats will play their first road game of the 2024 season, traveling way out West to welcome the Washington Huskies to the Big Ten. If Northwestern wants to get a win in its first West coast trip in the new era of Big Ten football, it is going to need to find more consistent offense, as the Wildcats have scored more than 20 points just once this season with that game coming against Eastern Illinois of the FCS.

Washington Makes Big Ten Conference Debut

Washington is 2-1 this season as well, with their most recent outing being a heartbreaking loss to rival Washington State, where some questionable play calling around the goal line cost the Huskies dearly. In this game, Washington plays its first conference game as a member of the new-look Big Ten. To get a win in their Big Ten debut, the Huskies will need to do a better job of finishing drives with touchdowns after settling for four field goals in last week's Apple Cup loss to Washington State.

Northwestern vs Washington Best Bet

Defenses should win the day in Saturday's Northwestern vs Washington matchup. We will take the under in this game, as Northwestern's offense has been anemic at best against FBS competition, while Washington hasn't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard themselves. Look for plenty of punts and field goals at the end of possessions and for the under to cash in Washington's welcome to the Big Ten.
