Minn -4 vs Northern Ill. ...too low?

[mighty maron]

I watched most of the Minn game against USC. Minn tried to pound the run and wear down the Trojans. They did not look that bad. I would hop on this...opinions?

my lines has Minny -2, Minny is terrible and Northern Illinois is a pretty good football team. They played Illinois pretty well this weekend.

I like N Illinois +4.5. The stats are beginning to develop and Minnesota looks sub par.

My favorite stat for this game is Minnesota giving up 7.28 yards per play on defense.

However, Sagarin makes the game Minny -8, so I guess things aren't really lining up.

If you have to use Sagarin as a handicapping tool, you need another hobby!
