- #105 WESTERN MICHIGAN (-) over Northern Illinois at 7 PM EST
Sitting on top in the MAC standings with a 5-1 SU record, the Broncos are just a couple of wins away from punching their ticket to the conference championship game. Matched up against a weak Huskies bunch that arrives off a massive 45-3 road win and cover over the Minutemen, WMU head coach Lance Taylor and his boys will pick up a critical dub and cover in this MACtion battle.
Considering Western Michigan owns a stunning 0-3 SU and ATS mark in its last three games against Northern Illinois, revenge motivation will keep the Ponies focused on the task at hand in this critical contest. In addition, dating back to November 18th, 2008, MAC road favorites in conference play that are lined up against a foe that arrives with steam off a SU and ATS win hold a respectable 61-19 SU and 49-30-1 ATS record including an outstanding 44-11 SU and 36-18-1 ATS provided they storm the field with confidence off a straight up win. With those two parameters live and our guest fighting a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .500 or less, this angle tightens up to a proud 31-2 SU and 25-7-1 ATS. The Broncos fit all three parts of that positive wagering situation.
Holding a mediocre 49-54 SU and 43-52-2 ATS record in their last 103 battles, the Huskies have been a below average football team lately. Even worse, in that run competing in DeKalb, NIU falls to a shocking 10-27-2 ATS tally including a disturbing 2-17-2 ATS provided they storm in off a pointspread win. Also, when priced as a home underdog, head coach Thomas Hammock and his boys own a poor 2-8 SU and 2-7-1 ATS mark in their last 10 tries including a filthy 0-6 SU and 0-5-1 ATS tally in their last six tries.
The Huskies are departing the MAC for the Mountain West Conference next season and the Broncos will be sure to pick up their sweet revenge before they leave. Take Western Michigan. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
