INDIAN COWBOY (CFB)
4-Unit Play #105 Take Northern Illinois -6.5 over Bowling Green (Friday @ 7pm est)
Northern Illinois is going to get up for this game in a big way and you have two teamsthat are basically headed in the opposite direction here. What you have here isa NIU team that that is ranked in the top 70 per our power rankings and whohave a great deal of revenge from getting routed by Bowling Green State lastyear who will look to get some revenge here. Note that this team just beat atop 85 team in Western Michigan on the road by 10 points and now hook with atop 110 team with revenge who comes into this game stumbling. And to NIU’scredit they have only lost to Arkansas and fell short of course CentralMichigan earlier this year and that were their only struggles. Bowling Greenhas had its issues against quality teams in conference and in particular asthey hook up with a top 70 team here they have shown tendencies to struggleagainst caliber teams such as losing to top 125 Ball State by 17 points andlosing to top 80 Toledo by 7 points on the road. In fact, outside of theIndiana win, this team has not beat a top 100 team all year and with NorthernIllinois seeking revenge and BGSU losing 3 of their last 5 coming into thisgame, let’s go with the motivated team that is expecting to do well withrevenge here.

MAC Championship - Ford Field, Detroit, MI
N. Illinois (-6-) vs. Bowling Green 7:00 ET ESPN2
This is a rematch of the MAC Championship game from last season, which was won by Bowling Green (47-27). That was the 4th consecutive season in which NIU played for the MAC title (under 3 different coaches, Kill, Doeren, and now 2nd year HC Carey). The results have not been pretty with NIU going 2-2 SU but 0-4 ATS. This year, however, the situation and the numbers clearly favor N. Illinois to cover the number in this Championship game. Under 1st year HC Babers, Bowling Green has suffered an immense defensive decline. Last year, the Falcons allowed just 16 PPG on 321 YPG. This year, BG allows 33 PPG and 495 YPG. Look no further than the fact that Babers is an offensive-minded coach, who is responsible, in part, for creating the high-powered Baylor attack prior to leading FCS E. Illinois to 48 PPG last season. Bowling Green plays in the relatively weak MAC East. The West was 15-3 SU vs. the East this year. When Bowling Green stepped up to play teams from the West, they lost 26-14 at home to Western, 27-20 at injured-Toledo team and 41-24 at home to Ball St. Those last two games concluded their season on a 0-2 SU ATS slide. Perennial champion NIU is at the peak of their game. They enter with 5 consecutive wins, including closing the season with wins over their closest division challengers, Toledo and W. Michigan. In last week’s 31-21 victory at Western, the Huskies held a dominant 196-91 overland edge and forced 6 TOs. The QB play clearly favors the Huskies as well. QB Knapke is a far less dynamic performer for Bowling Green than is QB Hare for NIU. With a 15/1 ratio, Hare not only takes care of the ball in the air, but is a dual threat with his legs. Combined with a stable of healthy RBs, NIU has a clear QB edge, the more explosive balanced offense, the far superior defense and a championship pedigree which will lead them to this double-digit victory.
