This is a 7* TOTAL BLOWOUT on the OVER Northwestern/Utah.

Northwestern finished 8-5 and the Utes were 9-4. Northwestern went to the Big Ten title game, but it would then lose to Ohio State. Utah also advanced to its conference final, but they'd suffer a setback (Washington.) With a chance to redeem themselves here, we're expecting each of these hungry sides to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish. Wildcats' QB Clayton Thorson had 267 passing yards in the loss to the Buckeyes. He also had two TD's. Utah will be hungry to erase a 10-3 loss to the Huskies with a better effort offensively in this one. Previous to that the Utes had scored at least 30 points in three straight outings. Note that Northwestern has seen the total go OVER the number in five of its last six off a loss vs. a conference rival, while Utah has seen the total go OVER in three of four this year as a favorite in the 3.5 to ten points range. This number is a little low, play the OVER.
