    Saturday NCAA C Michigan at N Ill
    Opening Line: N. Ill -10 now at -10.5. Over under 52.5 now at 54.

    We have two teams in this MAC game going in opposite directions. C Mich comes into this game off a big loss at home as a 13 point favorite to Miami Ohio. N Ill comes into this game off a big win at home against Buffalo as a 14 point favorite.

    C Michigan has not been the same team as they were the past few years when they had a stud QB. This team is really struggling. They only have two wins this year and that was against Hampton and the other came at the hands of Eastern Michigan who is at the bottom of the West Division in the MAC with a 1-6 record. They have averaged 21 points per game their last 4 games but have allowed 33 points per game in those 4 games. They have not allowed a team to score less then 27 in those past 4 games. This does not look good for them since N Ill has been on a tear of scoring points.

    N Ill comes into this game on a 4 game win streak and covering all 4 of those games. They come into this game averaging 40 points per game their last 4 games and allowing only 17 points per game those last 4 games. They have played 3 conference games this year and have only allowed an average of 15 points per game in those 3 conference games. N Ill has only allowed an average of 13 points per game in their last 5 home conference game and have scored and average of 36 points per game. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home conference games. N Ill is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 10 or more points.

    N Ill comes into this game knowing that the past 3 years they have had their struggles against C Mich. Now it is time to give their fans a win over a program that has beaten them pretty good in 2 of those past 3 games. Last years game C Mich was a 13.5 point favorite and won by 14. Now this year N Ill is a 10 point favorite. It shows that the tides have turned on these two teams. The Home team in this series is also 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

    I feel N Ill is going to be ready for this game and they want to put a beating on this team. They have had to live with C Mich being the top dog in the MAC the past few years and now it is their turn to show who the top dog is. 10.5 points is alot of points in a conference game but I just think wil N Ill defense being so tough and their offense scoring at will as of late they will win this game over a C Mich team that just seems to have let up already on the season. Should see a N Ill win by about 13-17 points I think.

    N Ill 33 C Mich 17

    Good Luck Everyone!

          I'm seeing there's a 40% chance of rain for this game. Can anyone say which team the rain might favor if it does come down? Any concerns it might affect that spread which is now at 10.5?

            Just found some info to answer my own question. NIU ranks 11th in nation in rushing offense. CMU ranks 17th in the nation in passing offense. If it's rainy and windy, you would guess weather would favor the rushing team.
