Following two trips to Indianapolis in the past three seasons for Northwestern football, 2021 has not gone to plan for Pat Fitzgerald’s team. With three losses already on the season and three games remaining against Iowa, Michigan and even Wisconsin, Northwestern’s ceiling this season would appear to be six wins.
Of course, NU could also win any of the above three games and also lose any of the remaining games against Rutgers, Purdue, Minnesota or Illinois, though it is a safe guess to venture that NU will probably be underdogs in the former three games and likely at least two of the latter games.
