The winningest sports handicapper on the large network of websites, Matt Rivers flagellated the sportsbooks yet again. Tonight he has a fee pick on Northwestern plus the points. They are getting 12 at Minnesota. Your local guy hopes you say TLDNR to this:
 
I have backed the Wildcats on numerous occasions this season and many more times than not they have treated me right so I’m going stay on this gravy train today.
 
Tubby Smith certainly has a dangerous Minnesota team but to be honest with you they have been fairly underachieving. The Golden Gophers were pretty much everybody’s sleeper type team in the Big 10 but at 3-4 in-conference and 12-7 overall things have not been all that great.
 
UM just blew the huge home lead against Michigan State and will once again be without their point guard in Al Nolen and it doesn’t appear that star recruit Royce White will be on the court anytime soon. The Gophers have major issues and have also actually lost three in a row and four of five including being a similar favorite, as today, in Indiana and falling in overtime to the Hoosiers, 81-78.
 
At home I can see Minnesota man up and play one of their better games here but it’s not like Northwestern is the Northwestern of old. Bill Carmody has his team looking as if they want to make the Big Dance for the first time ever at 14-5 overall with some top notch wins including beating Notre Dame, Michigan on the road, Illinois, Purdue, Stanford, NC State and Iowa State.

Guys like John Shurna, Jeremy Nash and Michael Thompson have really stepped it up in a major way and the Wildcats right now are actually a good basketball team, believe it or not. This is all without the service of stud Kevin Coble as well who has not played a game.
 
This is another rough spot for Northwestern on the road, I admit that, and they did fail that last test in Ohio State but 10 or so points is too much here and that is the bottom line.
