Betting on the Northwestern Wildcats

  • Season record: 20-10

  • BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir]
  • BetMGM Over/Under: [Por definir]

The Northwestern Wildcats have had a very good campaign, however, they are not finishing it in the best way. They come into this match with three consecutive defeats, which came after a positive streak of five wins in a row. Still, they find themselves fifth in the Big Ten and with a great chance to finish second if they can win this game and some results play in their favor.

While they have not been very productive offensively, averaging just 67.8 points scored per game, they have managed to make up for it with a defense that is 25th best in the league with about 62.6 points allowed. However, that’s not always enough, and the team has shown that in their recent performances, with the most recent being a 68-65 loss to Penn St. Louis. Nittany Lions.

Betting on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights

  • BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir]
  • BetMGM Over/Under: [Por definir]

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are not closing this campaign in the best way, either, as they have only won two of their last seven games. This situation has left them a little behind in their division, and they currently occupy the ninth place despite having a positive record. Like their opponent on the road, Rutgers has been fairly solid on defense, averaging 60.2 points allowed, the tenth-best citron in the league.

However, they have also left much to be desired defensively, with an average of 68.7 points scored per game. Perhaps this is what caused their loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers in their previous game, as they went into halftime up by 7 points, but only scored 34 in the second half and ended up falling 74-75.


JefeBet Prediction

Northwestern vs Rutgers Predictions Picks Betting Odds March 5, 2023

Both teams have shown clear offensive deficiencies throughout the campaign, and this match will probably be no exception, as they will face two of the league’s elite defenses, both of which have proven to be capable of stopping any opponent they face.

Both Rutgers and Northwestern have covered the Under in 18 of their 30 games so far this season, and their previous meeting totaled just 127 total points. Therefore, we expect the defenses to be the protagonists once again and leave us with a low score here.

Prediction: Under (NOR 58-64 RUT).
