Northwestern at Washington

Northwestern went 8-5 last year, knocking off Utah in a bowl. The 2023 defense was very good and most of the front line returned. They're 2-1 after three games, allowing 11 points per game. On offense, RB Cam Porter (234 yards, 5.3 ypc) is playing well with mobile QB Mike Wright (354 passing yards) stepping in. Wright was formerly with Vanderbilt and Mississippi State, and he's been sharing snaps with QB Jack Lausch (2 TDs, 0 INTs). Northwestern is on an 8-2 ATS run, including 3-0 ATS as double-digit underdogs to Nebraska (a 17-9 loss), Maryland (a 33-27 win as a +14.5 dog), and Wisconsin (a 24-10 victory as a +12 dog). Washington hasn't been rolling, beating Eastern Michigan (30-9) as 25-point chalk and a 24-19 loss to Washington State last week as a touchdown favorite. The Huskies are on a 5-8-1 ATS run.
