DePaul vs Northwestern Odds
Northwestern was a 1-point favorite over DePaul when the guys taped on November 12.
Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Northwestern -1
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): DePaul +1
- Colby Dant (@TheColbyD): DePaul +1
Colby opened with the injury news. At taping, Jack Karasinski, Northwestern’s leading scorer, was a game-time decision with a concussion, and Colby believed he had missed the last game. Colby also thinks DePaul is better than Northwestern on paper this year. He noted DePaul was 3 and 0 at taping, though he admitted one of those wins cost him money.
Sean sided with Colby. The case on the DePaul side was that the trip is barely a road trip, DePaul should be up for a crosstown game, and Northwestern might be without its top scorer. The guys also noted the analytics sites disagreed on who should be favored.
Ryan stayed on Northwestern and needled Colby for calling a home crowd lit and then betting against the home team. Colby’s answer was that historically you can find empty seats at Northwestern games, and that some of the fans in the building for this one will be DePaul fans. A quick check on air before the segment ended turned up optimism about Karasinski playing Friday, with about a week as the usual concussion timeline in college basketball.
