Northwestern Favored to Win Against Sun Devils in Upcoming Game

Northwestern have long established themselves as a consistent side, with efficient offensive play that is often typified by a slower tempo and rarely making errors. In stark contrast, the Sun Devils have not fared as well, highlighted by their rollercoaster performance away to TCU. While the Sun Devils may have built an early lead, the remaining game saw them eventually succumb to a larger margin. Northwestern's style of play should see them have the upper hand in this game, with control of the game through lengthy plays and defensive tenacity. As such, given the inconsistencies of their opponents, the Wildcats are deemed the team to trust.
