‘POINSETTIA BOWL’
Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, CA
Boise St. (-8-/56) v. N. Illinois 4:30 ET ESPN
Very tough call at this writing, knowing that for NIU QB Hare (Achilles) is lost for the season and QB Graham (leg) is questionable at this writing. That would leave the ball in the hands of frosh QB Fielder, who laid an enormous egg in the Huskies’ (34-14) Title Game defeat to Bowling Green. It is also a negative that under HC Carey, N. Illinois is 0-3 ATS in Bowl Games with losses of 29, 7 and 21 points. On their behalf, the team averaged 33/427 on offense this year and was a 200 CLUB member aided by RB Bouagnon and WR Golladay. And, remember the history of this program which finds the Huskies to be true to their namesake at 25-9 ATS as underdog. Motivation must be a question for Boise, who tanked down the stretch once they figured a New Year’s Day Bowl party was not in the offing. Following a loss at Utah St. on October 16th, their unbeaten letdown disintegrated into a 3-3 SU, 2-4 ATS finish, including home losses on consecutive November weekends to New Mexico and Air Force. One must question their mental approach in their 14th consecutive Bowl appearance for the program. Fundamentally, QB Rypien and RB McNicholls (5.6 YPR) lead a potentially explosive offense that averages 38/489 and their 118/3.4 rushing defense is the ideal remedy to stop the thrusts of Husky runners. Virtually impossible to make a definitive call, however, without the status of NIU QB Graham!

‘GO DADDY BOWL’
Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile, AL
GA Southern v. Bowling Green (-7-/66) 8:00 ET ESPN
There is a lot of public money flowing to a Bowling Green team who will be without HC Babers (has accepted Syracuse job) and whose Bowl coach (former DC Ward) is about to join his ex-boss in the Carrier Dome after this game. That leaves all the motivation in the hands of senior QB Johnson, who will look to continue the fabulous offensive career that has seen the BGs go to Bowls in 3 consecutive seasons. This year, Johnson completed 69% of his passes with a 43/8 ratio. He was ably abetted by top RB Greene and WR Lewis, who led the Falcons to a 43/561 offense. GA Southern is not without their own question marks. Former HC Fritz has bolted to Tulane, leaving former RB coach McGee in charge. That is not necessarily a bad thing, as the Eagles once again lead the country in rushing with 356/6.5 YPR. QB Ellison and RB Breida run this option to perfection. What has the public so interested in this fade is that GA Southern was destroyed in their final game of the season by the passing attack of GA State QB Arbuckle, who threw for over 300 yards. The result was a (34-7) Eagles’ home loss as 21 point home chalk. If that happens again, the GA Southern ground game will have a tough time playing catchup!

2-Unit Play. Take #733 UW-Milwaukee (+4.5) over Minnesota (8 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 23)


UW-Milwaukee already has a win at Wisconsin this year. They could get another upset win here in The Barn tonight against Minnesota. The Gophers have lost to South Dakota State at home already this year and they are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games. Over the past two seasons the Gophers have been terrible at the window, going 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games. The Panthers have gone 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games on the road and have been very good against Big Ten opponents. Minnesota is a young team and they still have a lot of work to do. Milwaukee will be very focused on trying to get another upset here and I think they can do it. Take the points.

Millionaires---Northern Illinois

Boise St has been one of the more successful programs in the country the past decade. Every part of their program has been upgraded and revamped. They started the this year of 5-1 including a huge win against Washington. Then it lost starting quarterback Ryan Finley to a broken ankle, injuries mounted and the Broncos lost their way with three defeats in the last six games. They go into this bowl game at 8-4. Northern Illinois had quarterback troubles of their own, with four different QB's going down injured. Redshirt freshman Ryan Graham is back to start for the Huskies today. Note that this team played Boston College and Ohio State, losing by a total of just 10 points. Each team as the ability to run the ball with much of the same results. Boise sophomore Jeremy McNichols has rushed for 1,334 yards with 18 touchdowns and NIU junior Joel Bouagnon has 1,269 yards and 18 touchdowns. Each team has scored 53 touchdowns and both defenses and schemes mirror one another. These two programs and both teams are dead even. The oddsmakers are offering a lot of points here. Take their generous gift.
