Up in DeKalb the Huskies have been one of the best programs in college football over the last few seasons. It starts with domination in the MAC but they have also challenged teams from the power conference, earning a BCS spot in the process a couple of years ago.
NIU is 15-15 ATS with an O/U record of 14-15 and Bowling Green is 16-11-1 ATS with an O/U record of 13-14. In their last games Northern Illinois beat Ball State 70-56 and Bowling Green lost to Buffalo 88-65.
Heisman Trophy finalist Jordan Lynch will play the final game of his college career on Thursday, when No. 23 Northern Illinois faces Utah State in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
This week will likely be a bit anticlimactic for Northern Illinois. Last week they had a legitimate challenge against a good Toledo team on the road but their last game of the MAC regular season is against a very limited Western Michigan team.
The Toledo Rockets may not be ranked, but they are winning games and are within a game of sharing the MAC West crown with a win over their visiting rivals, No. 15 Northern Illinois on Wednesday night.
Northern Illinois will look to extend the nation’s longest home winning streak, having won 24 in a row at Huskie Stadium, when they host the Ball State Owls on Wednesday night in DeKalb.
Quarterback Jordan Lynch threw his hat back into the ring alongside the other Heisman Trophy candidates with an outstanding individual performance last weekend, and now looks to continue his stellar play when the 18th-ranked Northern Illinois Huskies host the Eastern Michigan Eagles.
The Northern Illinois Huskies just continue to keep winning. They are perfect on the season and heading into what should be a relatively easy game at Central Michigan, the program that used to lead the MAC before their current run of dominance.
Remember when Akron almost took down Michigan a couple of weeks back? Well they didn’t win that one and haven’t won any of the three after that either so how good are they. I think the answer is not very which would explain their 1-5 record.
The MAC always gets overshadowed by the Big Ten and rightfully so.
Ball State is back? The Cardinals are 6-4 and if they can sneak a win on Tuesday night they would be in the thick of the MAC West race.
Northern Illinois struggled early this season including surprising losses at Kansas and Central Michigan.
