Northern Illinois -3 1/2 (3 Unit Play)
This game I almost decided to pass on but after looking at a few things as well as the injury reports I think I am on the right side of this one with the Huskies tonight. Northern Illinois is off of a humbling blowout against ranked Ball State last game and can't win the MAC West title but they do need just one win to become bowl eligible and beating a good Central Michigan team would enhance their possible bowl chances. The bottom line in this game comes down to defense in my opinion and Northern Illinois is very good defensively even with their bad game last week. Northern Illinois had went 6-1 ATS to open the season but has since dropped two games in a row but the Huskies are taking on a very beaten up Chippewas squad here tonight. CMU is hoping to have QB Dan LeFavour back for this game and he should play but I question how effective he will be in running the ball with his bad ankle. I think Northern Illinois will want to play a very good game here tonight and while I am sure CMU will be up for this game they do have Ball State at home next week and may be peeking ahead just a bit here.

NORTHERN ILL (-3.5) 32 Central Mich 19
Central Michigan, at 7-2, has a better record than 5-4 Northern Illinois, but the Huskies are clearly the better team and are in a good situation to bounce back from last week’s 14-45 beating at unbeaten Ball State. Central Michigan is a pretty good offensive team by MAC standards, as the Chippewas have averaged 5.7 yards per play against a schedule of teams that would combine to allow 5.7 yppl to an average team, but Northern Illinois is just as good defensively – allowing 5.4 yppl to teams that would combine to average 5.4 yppl against an average team. The difference in this game is when the Huskies have the ball. Northern Illinois is 0.2 yppl worse than average for the season (5.5 yppl against teams that would allow 5.7 yppl to an average team), and 0.1 yppl worse than average with Chandler Harnish at quarterback, but Central Michigan is a horrendous 1.0 yppl worse than average defensively – allowing 6.3 yppl to a schedule of teams that would combine to average 5.3 yppl against an average defensie team. The Chippewas can’t stop the run (5.2 yprp allowed) or the pass (7.2 yppp allowed), so Northern Illinois should be able to sustain plenty of scoring drives while their defense limits Dan LeFevour and company. My math model favors Northern Illinois by 9 ½ points in this game and the Huskies apply to a very good 89-34-1 ATS blowout bounce-back situation that is based on last week’s humiliating loss. I’ll take Northern Illinois in a 3-Star Best Bet at -3 or less (at -115 or better odds) and for 2-Stars up to -6 points.
Temple (-1.0) 26 KENT STATE 22
Temple would be better than 3-6 straight up if starting quarterback Adam DiMichele would have not missed 4 games with an injury. DiMichele’s passing numbers are much, much, better than backup Chester Stewart, as DiMichele is just a bit below average on a national scale in yards per pass play. Temple doesn’t have any rushing attack to help balance the attack, but DiMichele should post good numbers against a Kent defense that’s allowed 6.7 yards per pass play to a schedule of quarterbacks that would combine to average only 5.7 yppp against an average defensive team. The Owls are very good defensively, especially by MAC standards, as they have allowed just 5.0 yards per play this season to teams that would combine to average 5.4 yppl against an average stop unit. Kent is a good running team and their offense is average overall, but they are at a disadvantage in this game. The line on this game isn’t factoring in how much better the Owls’ offense is with DiMichele back and my math model favors Temple by 8 ½ points in this game. Unfortunately, Temple applies to a negative 66-152-2 ATS situation and a 24-61 ATS situation, so I won’t be making the Owls a play here. Kent is just 1-13 ATS their last 14 games when they are not an underdog of more than 3 points, and I’ll lean with Temple at -3 ½ or less.
