Northwestern Wildcats (2015: 10-3 SU, 8-5 ATS)
Odds to win conference: +4200
Season win total: 7
Why bet the Wildcats: Northwestern gets little respect in the markets, but the Wildcats have proven to be a scrappy team under head coach Pat Fitzgerald. They were underdogs in six games last season, and they finished with a 10-3 SU record. Nothing is likely to change in 2016, so there will be plenty of opportunities to back Northwestern as underdogs.
Why not bet the Wildcats: Northwestern was a phony 10-win team in 2015. The Wildcats only averaged 19.5 points on just 327 yards of total offense. Northwestern was out-gained by 39.3 in conference play last season despite going 6-2 in those games. There’s plenty of reasons to expect major regression from Northwestern in 2016.
Season win total pick: Under 7
