Point Spread: 8.50 | -110.00 Northern Illinois (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on Northern Illinois.
Both teams started the season strong, but faltered down the stretch, their reward is still a respectable spot in this year's Poinsettia Bowl. We took Western Kentucky on Monday, we thought the Hilltoppers dynamic offense would prove to be the difference vs. New Mexico and it was. Yesterday we also took an offensive minded school in Toledo, which proved to be too much for what seemed to be a disinterested Temple team. Both teams suffered injuries and both paid the price this year. Boise State opened the year with a big victory over Washington, but back-to-back losses to New Mexico and Air Force in the middle of November de-railed any hopes the team had at being a New Year's Six representative. NIU won the MAC West but was then blown out by Bowling Green, 34-14 in the Championship game. This game is going to feature a lot of running from both sides to set up the pass, NIU leans on Joel Bouagnon, who led the MAC with 1,270 rushing yards along with 18 rushing TD's, while Boise State hands off to Jeremy McNichols, who led the Mountain West with 18 rushing TD's off 1,244 rushing yards. Some may think that Boise State has a small advantage at QB, but note that the Huskies have just as many INT's (21) as TD passes allowed (22). Ultimately though, we don't think either team has too much of an advantage over one another and feel that field position will prove to be the difference in this "chess match." All signs point to the points as the savvy move in this contest, play on NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
