NEB Receives 6 out of the 8 Votes to Win the Legends Division per CBS Sports

I tend to favor us just because our schedule is much more forgiving than theirs. But really, it's close to a tossup. Them getting us in Ann Arbor is huge for them. We lose that game and we have to be otherwise perfect, and that might not (probably would but not necessarily) get the job done.

 
Northwestern has a real tough schedule, I think thats keeping alot of experts from picking them.

I'm surprised Northwestern isnt getting more love than they are, Fitzgerald has probably the best team he has ever had there

Probably because they actually have to play some teams from the other division this year. They open up Big Ten play with Ohio State at home, then go to Wisky. Then, 2 games against Minnesota and Iowa are followed up by: @NEB, UM, MSU.

This will definitely be the year Fitzgerald shows what Northwestern is made of.

The same stuff they've been made of the last decade - unheralded recruits that exceed their potential and are well coached but still outside the elite level required to compete week-in and week-out.

Devin Gardner is a bigger threat at QB IMO than Braxton Miller. I have all the confidence in the world we beat NW, but we are going to have to get a ton better as a football team as the year goes on to be able to win in The Bog House.
