It is finally time for the Northwestern football season. Wildcats start 2025 by facing the Tulane Green wave, a favorite to make the play football playoffs among the group of five teams. And while Vegas has the northwest as an opressed, the interior staff of the NU request to postpone, five of the seven writers predicting the “cats to remove the upheaval. Nevertheless, here is the complete list of choices for the opening of the Northwestern season.
Charlie Jacobs: North-West 13, Tulane 24
Tulane is a 6 -point house favorite for a reason. This team is one of the strongest contenders to make the university football playoffs from the group of five teams. Not only that, but time seems to be a huge factor that will be at stake. Tulane has still not named a quarter-back, but I don’t think it really counts. Jon Sumrall is an excellent coach, and it is difficult to bet against a team in their home opening match with favorable weather. I prefer to define low expectations and be pleasantly surprised compared to a too high bar (as I did last season) and watch it fail.
Miguel Muñoz: Northwestern 24, Tulane 20
Whether Northwestern wins or not this match, it is difficult not to be passionate about university football. After a long wait, Nu begins her year with a blow, heading for New Orleans to face one of the best groups of five teams this season in Tulane. Although the green wave is favored by a hit before Saturday, I choose the upheaval here. At the end of the day, I like the offensive side of the Cats du Ballon more than that of Tulane – especially after the transfer of Darian Mensah to Duke – and I believe that head coach David Braun will prepare for a fight. Give me the “cats in a game that will come to the final possession.”
Ascher Levin: North-West 24, Tulane 21
Northwestern faces a difficult opening test against a tulane team planned to deal with a CFP spot. I expect the green wave to start Jake Retzlaff, a talented transfer of Byu, and they boast of a strong defensive line that could create problems in advance. Combined with hot and humid conditions in New Orleans, the Wildcats will have to be disciplined and well conditioned to remain sharp for four quarters. I expect Preston Stone to take command of the offense and lead the Cats to a narrow victory that will set the tone for the season.
Harris Horowitz: North-West 20, Tulane 16
Tulane would be silly not to start Retzlaff on Saturday, and to watch him the quarter-Arrière The Green Wave promises to be a deeply unpleasant experience. His angle of arms out of Kilter has nuances of Aaron Rodgers, and although his stride heavy borde, the former cougar byu will have wild speedsters Brayben Brusy and Mac Uihlein charters him everywhere in New Orleans. That being said, I like the way the defense of the North West corresponds to the Retzlaff offensive. The Josh Coin Demi Fusll, Fred Davis II and Ore Addeyi have the advantage on paper on the transfer of the Atlantic to Florida Omari Hayes and the unit of implementation of Tulane passes dependent on the portal. Brus, Uihlein, Jack Sadowsky V and Yanni Karlaftis make up an equipped secondary nucleus to manage Retzlaff’s mobility. Anto Saka will do Anto Saka.
If – and I mean a “ Si ” of the variety of Justin Herbert – young Northwestern offensive line players (I’m talking about Mcquire and Ezomo Oratokhai) can resist Tulane tsunami from a four front, I like the cats to start 1-0.
Calvin Kaplan: North-West 20, Tulane 23
If it starts, Retzlaff will be a problem for this naked secondary, which is deep but does not have a ton of proven and high -end talents. At the same time, I expect Stone to keep the “cats in it.” The talent of Stone’s arm is the real deal, and the Wildcats will probably see a semblance of a game of passes and a good performance of Griffin Wilde accordingly. That said, the Ballon carrier of Tulane Maurice Turner is a threat to burst this year, and if he plays well, it will slow the game a lot. Since last year’s difficulties, I do not expect the RB of Northwestern to behave very well (even in the potential rain), and I think that that will ultimately limit cats to a tight loss.
Matt Campbell: North-West 10, Tulane 3
Saturday will undoubtedly be won on the field, and as large as a running team Tulane, I don’t think they will become Northwestern this weekend. The trio of Mac Uihlein, Braydon Bru and Yanni Karlaftis is a group of elite seconds, and I think they will force the green wave in situations of third and long passage. Retzlaff and Sullivan will fight in the rain, and from there, naked will capitalize. I do not buy the group of five media threw this year, especially after seeing how Boisse State collapsed Thursday evening with their new look. I will not be surprised if Tulane follows suit.
Yanyan Li: North-West 17, Tulane 14
I am with the majority here – I think the Northwestern Ekks was victory by a basket. Playing on the road and the warmth of Louisiana will be drawbacks for the Cats and I agree that the probable start quarter Jake Retzlaff (as well as the entire Green Wave team) is extremely formidable. However, knowing that it is one of the biggest launch matches on the nude calendar, I believe that the team – in particular, the offensive line of Stone and Northwestern – will accelerate with a narrow victory.
