Free Pick on Northwestern -
I really like the value here with the Wildcats as a short road favorite against the Illini. These two teams just recently played at Northwestern, with Illinois pulling off the upset in a 68-61 win as a 6-point dog. That loss came in the Wildcats second game without leading scorer Scottie Lindsey and fresh off a 21-point loss at Purdue in their first game without him. Lindsey returned in Northwestern's last game and I look for the Wildcats to get their revenge.
Illinois comes in off a win at Iowa, but are still just 5-9 in Big Ten play. They have lost 3 straight at home, losing by 13 to Penn State, 9 to Minnesota and 14 to Wisconsin. Northwestern is 9-5 in Big Ten play, which doesn't jump off the paper. However, they are 8-2 with Lindsey in the lineup. Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games off a home win where they failed to cover the spread and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 as a road favorite of 6 points or less. Illinois is 7-20 ATS in their last 27 as a home dog of 3 points or less and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 off an upset win as an underdog. Take Northwestern!
