PREGAME

The Michigan football team is 7.5-point favorites to beat Northwestern this evening and improve to 6-0.

Not so fast, Michigan junior quarterback Denard Robinson tells the Associated Press.

"It's going to be a sight to see," Robinson said. "On the road, it's just a different feeling. Everybody's not with you. The fans aren't with you and so you have to go out there and try to get them quieted before they become the 12th man."
