4* Free 2024 Week 7 NCAA Betting Prediction: Northwestern +10
Even better for bettors? Northwestern is a perfect 2-0 against the spread in their last two meetings with Maryland, with both games sailing over the total.
Heading into Week 7 of the 2024 season, the Wildcats (+10) are looking like a solid pick, especially if you’re chasing that underdog value on the moneyline (+298). Maryland, favored at -10, will try to hold off the Wildcats, but with Northwestern’s scrappy history, they’re not going down easy.
With an over/under set at 45.5, expect another high-scoring affair. This is college football at its finest—plenty of action, plenty of stakes, and prime betting value on the board. If you’re looking for some expert advice, Northwestern covering that +10 spread is worth a serious look.
With the over/under line set at 45.5 points, we see value in taking the over, as our projections have these teams combining for 59 points. Northwestern comes into this game as the +10 point underdogs, but we have them winning straight-up with a projected final score of 36-23.
Northwestern is the play to cover the spread as road underdogs and to win this game outright.
Wrong team favored.
