MAC Championship Game Free Pick:
Miami Ohio has had a solid year but Northern has won five straight in this series and coach Jerry Kill has done a fantastic job in getting this team to reach its full potential. The Huskies are coming off a game in which they rushed for 544 yards against Eastern Michigan, which was the second most in school history. They also racked up eight touchdowns, as Jordan Lynch had 142 yards and two scores, Jasmin Hopkins had 104 yards and one score and Chad Spann chipped in 88 yards and two TDs. The Red Hawks have a tough time running the ball so if they get behind early, that’ll play into Northern’s hands. The Huskies are 7-0-1 against the spread in their last eight conference games and 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. Our pick is Northern Illinois in a route.
