Northwestern vs. Ohio State

Northwestern is the surprise participant in the Big 10 Championship game and defense has been a major factor as the Wildcats have allowed an average of only 14.6 points for #3 in the country and they have gone UNDER six of the seven games they have played this season. The Wildcats defeated Illinois 28-10 on Saturday and it went UNDER by 3.5 points and freshman Cam Porter ran for 142 yards and two touchdowns and the Fighting Illini were held to 262 total yards of offense. Northwestern has gone UNDER six of its last seven conference games and this is a high posted total this week due to Ohio State's overpowering offense. However, a closer look and the Buckeyes' opponents have a combined record of 10-19, not counting Indiana. Both teams have stayed UNDER five of their last seven December games and Ohio State is 5-2 UNDER as a neutral-site favorite. Also, the Buckeyes have stayed UNDER six of their last eight versus teams with winning records. Take the UNDER as a Max Play.
