Northwestern at Rutgers

Despite being 3-3, the Wildcats are in first place in the West.  That will last at least one more week.

The Scarlet Knights are the worst Power 5 team.  The primary reason is turnovers.  They are dead last in the FBS. They don’t stop the run either giving up 237.7 yards-per-game.

On the bright side, Northwestern is not good at creating turnovers or running the ball.

That is why I think it will be a closer than expected game.

Northwestern 24-13.
