Two 3-0 teams, no favorite, and a market that can't split them. That's the board for DePaul at Northwestern, and it's exactly the kind of game where the number tells you more than the names do. The books price both sides at 50% with the margin removed, and the spread sits at 0 after opening at Northwestern -1.5.
The case for Northwestern starts with defense. The Wildcats allow 60.0 points per game and shoot 48.8% from the field, the cleaner offensive profile in this matchup. They're 3-0 with a three-game win streak, 1-0 against the spread, and they took the last meeting between these programs, 81-79 on Nov 14. A team that defends at that level and finishes efficiently is hard to pull away from.
The case for DePaul is scoring and pace. The Blue Demons put up 80.3 points per game and allow 61.7, nearly matching Northwestern's defensive number while doing more on the offensive end. They're also 3-0, 1-0 against the spread, and riding a four-game win streak in their last four. DePaul's 43.4% field goal shooting is the weaker mark, but the volume and the results are there.
The market has moved toward DePaul. The spread went from Northwestern -1.5 to 0, the moneyline drifted from -115 to -110 on the Wildcats, and the total fell from 141 to 136.5. Best prices: moneyline is -110 both ways at Bovada; the spread is Northwestern 0 at -105 and DePaul 0 at -115, both at BetOnline.ag; the total is Over 136.5 at -110 at BetOnline.ag and Under 136.5 at -105 at Everygame.
