The Northern Illinois Huskies are 3-2 on the season, and they have one of the biggest upsets as they went into South Bend and beat Notre Dame 16-14. The Huskies have continued with the solid defensive efforts as they are allowing fewer than 20 PPG on the season. Bowling Green has not topped 27 in four games vs. FBS opponents, and their defense has been average, which is good enough to hold down a Northern Illinois offense that is mediocre as well. Northern Illinois did rush for over 315 yards last week. That activates a situation that is 570-400-28 to the UNDER, at 58.8% winners. Make the play on the UNDER.

Bowling Green at Northern Illinois
Bowling Green has split is last four games, including a 27-20 loss to Kent State as a +16 dog and a 14-10 upset of Minnesota as a +31 underdog. Bowling Green is 17-6 ATS on the road off an upset loss as a favorite. Northern Illinois is favored for only the second time this season, and the Huskies don't have a strong offense behind junior QB Rocky Lombardi (5 TDs, 6 INTs). In the last two games, they nipped Eastern Michigan (27-20) and Toledo (22-20), and college football dogs of 3.5 to 10 points like Bowling Green that rush for 125 yards per game or less are 59-24 ATS. Play Bowling Green.

Northern Illinois at Bowling Green
The Bowling Green football program was really built up under Dino Babers, but since his departure the Falcons have really struggled. They enter this game at 1-6 on the season and 1-6 ATS as well. Every team they have faced has run the ball down their throat with 40+ attempts by all opponents, generating 5.5 yards per carry. It doesn't get any better in the air where they allow 8.2 yards per attempt. The offense is below average and I don't see them doing much against a Northern Illinois stop-unit that looks to be the best the MAC has to offer allowing just 3.9 yards per play. Northern Illinois has held their two MAC opponents to a total of 16 points, and with Bowling Green coughing up just shy of 37 points per game, I think this one is going to be ugly for the home team. Lay the points on Northern Illinois.
