Northern Illinois at Central Michigan

Central Michigan has locked up the MAC West at 7-0 and will be likely playing 7-0 Temple for the MAC Title. The Huskies have had a good year at 7-4, and an eighth win could be enticing to Bowl Committees, especially knocking off a tough Chippewas team. The Chips have an impressive home resume at 4-0 and winning by an average of 37.8 points per game. That has inflated this line, but it is a bit misleading. The Chips played non-FBS Alcorn State and three of the worst MAC teams at home that have combined for a 7-26 record. The Huskies are well versed on the road with no loss larger than 8 points and that includes a pair of trips into the Big-10. The Huskies boast an 8-3 ATS mark in their last 11 as a dog and I think they have some bite. The Huskies are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 as a dog of 10-20 points. They are also 14-4 ATS in their last 18 following back-to-back ATS losses. I like Northern Illinois with the generous points. I also like the UNDER. Both teams average game totals fall under this mark posted here. N. Illinois is 13-4 UNDER the past three seasons when playing teams that allow 58%+ pass completion percentage. They are also a perfect 10-0 UNDER as an underdog of 10-20 points and 13-4 UNDER after a game in which they went OVER.
