Central Michigan vs Northwestern predictions for the GameAboveSports Bowl. Angel Flores returns to give Chippewas more depth.
Central Michigan QB Angel Flores returns to action and will provide added depth to the Chippewas' offense. It won't result in a win, but a one-score final is far more likely.The Central Michigan Chippewas and Northwestern Wildcats tangle Friday afternoon at Ford Field for the annual GameAboveSports Bowl.
With reserve quarterback Angel Flores returning to the Chippewas' lineup, my Central Michigan vs. Northwestern predictions expect CMU to make a game of it. Who will win the GameAbove Sports Bowl? Northwestern wins by leveraging its physicality to dominate the trenches. Its Top 40 scoring defense and superior third-down conversion rate should eventually wear down Central Michigan’s front seven, allowing the Wildcats to seal it late.Angel Floresboast a Top 40 scoring defense, but their offense is a carbon copy of CMU’s, yet far more reckless. They lack an explosive gear, and with Preston Stone throwing 12 interceptions, the Wildcats won’t easily pull away from the Chips. The"meat and potatoes" here is the trench battle: CMU’s front seven is elite at the point of attack, ranking 49th in scoring defense, and thrives in short-yardage stops. CMU’s defense can stonewall Northwestern’s solid, run-heavy script, and it has the senior leadership to limit it to a one-score game, as 12 of the 16 editions of this game have ended. With Flores back to revive a Chippewas rushing attack that averaged 202.1 yards with him active and nearly 100 more than their November output, CMU has the physicality to win the clock and exploit Northwestern’s turnover tendencies. Don’t let the"run-first" labels fool you; Ford Field is a fast track that historically breeds points. With both teams capable of exploiting turnovers for short fields and the fast indoor turf favoring the playmakers, this 42.5 total is a massive discount.
