    Based purely on stats N Illinois deserves to be favored but I agree 8 seems like a lot. I still gotta look at other factors though.
    Actually NIU's SOS has been worse. I've seen their YTD SOS as dead last in some power rankings.

    a couple things scare me about this pick

    1. the public is on Kent state. not by a large margin but still.
    2. the lower ranked team is a big favorite over a team that is ranked higher. something fishy about that.

    They played 6 common opponents.

    Kent State beat Army by 20...NIU beat them by 1


    That should tell you all you need to know Brock...Kent ST ML and +8.5 for 6K each!!!

    Wow clearly haven't watched much MAC football. N.Illinois is plain and simple a much better team. If Archer doesn't play good this game won't even be competative.

    Why cant niu make the bcs game? They are 21...they will move ahead of kent state with a win could jump number mich and with a ucla loss to stanford and texas loss to kstate could be #16. Boise could stumble nevada it is an away game.

    I'm more concerned that the board is on Kent St. I'd be more comfortable if more ppl liked NIU here.

    Have any of you watched Both teams? The eye test alone would show you how much bettter N Illionos is. You guys need to stop relying on box scores.

    Most people have probably seen both teams play since they've been on ESPN Tuesday/Wednesday nights.
    Agreed, NIU is the much more complete team...Seems that's why they are -8

    Both teams are N ILLINOIS (11-1) (8-0 con.)(9-2-1 ATS)(7-1Con.ATS)@KENT ST (11-1) (8-0 con.)(10-2 ATS) (7-1 Con.ATS)

    11/18/08 was their last meeting before this..........

    *This game will be played @ neutral location.Ford Field, DETROIT, MI



    Books are making the line according to past match-ups,

    the difference between the past and now is Kent State is a much better team this year compared to years past,

    I would say the books are saying Kent State is still that same old team when playing N.Ill until proven otherwise or the books are expecting late one sided "Square" action on Illinois,if this is the case well then this will be your cue to pound the living fukk outta Kent State MONEY LINE!

    The real question is do you think this?

    Kent St. has a better defense but it will be very hard for Kent. St. to throw against NIU and NIU should be able to be balanced

    Strongest part of NIU Defense is their Pass defense, too bad Kent St just runs ball...Will be fun to watch. Would be nice to find a prop for longest play over 60 yards or something of that nature.

    Money line no longer being considered for obvious reasons,books using scare tactics or setting hook line and sinker

    but I would like to see them pull an upset,

    so I'm rooting but not backing,

    Playing the +7.5 -113 and under 57.5 -101 though,

    rather large.................

    Both played @ army...Kent won by 20 and NIU won by 1.

    Kent played one of the shit Mich schools at home and won by 17...NIU played @ that shit school and won by 10

    Other than that NIU won by more against the other common schools.
