The No. 22 Northwestern Wildcats (8-3, 6-2 B1G) have all the momentum heading into their rivalry game with the Illinois Fighting Illini (2-9, 0-8 B1G). Northwestern travels to Champaign with a six-game win streak in hand and is a significant favorite. Illinois has had a very bad season in Year 2 of the Lovie Smith era, and will be playing for pride. Northwestern will need to win this game to cement its position in the Big Ten standings and eventual bowl selection.
