Friday night:
Miami Ohio +18.5 vs. Northern Illinois (1 unit) WIN
Small play for some action & fading the public; that's a whole hell lot of points in a MAC title game. I think No. Illinois wins handily, but think Miami will come to play. Its a pretty gritty team that plays good defense. Even if if NIU is up 21-24pts in the fourth, its a good number for a backdoor cover.
Went against the grain last MAC game I played (Ohio +10 vs. Temple) and that worked, so I'll stick to my guns :)
Illinois -5.5 at Fresno State (1.5 units) LOSS
Illinois RB Mikel LeShoure has been a beast recently and Fresno looked really shaky the past two weeks, getting blown out by Boise and struggling against a bad Idaho team. I'll take the Illini to claw their way to a 7-10 point win.
