GoDaddy.com Bowl Betting Odds - Arkansas State will HUSK
Northern Illinois Pelt
The probability that the GoDaddy.com commercials may be more
exciting than the
GoDaddy.com Bowl Betting Odds has nothing to do with the fact
we have the Red Wolves and the Huskies trying to see who is more
dog-like.
They should both be getting points looking at how weak their
schedules were based on opponents. If I were the other Arkansas
(State) or the other Illinois (Northern), I would just be glad to
be getting some BCS Championship loving in College Football's bowl
season. See? The BCS isn't all bad, sometimes they give schools and
betting fanatics gifts like this one!
Arkansas State Red Wolves (10-2) vs. Northern Illinois Huskies
(10-3)

Ladd Pebbles Stadium (40,646) - Mobile, Alabama
You are probably thinking the same thing I was - GoDaddy.com Bowl?
After the Sugar, Orange and Rose Bowls? We need to think a
different way here. ANY extra football game is warranted, because
time is just about out. These teams may not be the tops in nation,
but they both represent worthy programs and football teams that can
put up some offense before that BCS Championship Game you get to
watch defense in action (Alabama vs. LSU).
Arkansas State's Ryan Aplin has 3,000 and then sum (addition joke)
this year passing and another 605 rushing with 18 and 9 touchdowns
passing and rushing respectively. I would expect Aplin to carry the
offense for State, as he has for bettors this year; Arkansas State
has made a lot of people money this year in sporting an incredible
10-2 Against the Spread and Straight Up record.
Chandler Harnish is the MAC offensive player of the year and has
37 touchdowns between passing and rushing this year for Northern
Illinois. That is decent against the kind of schedule he has been
against, but Arkansas State will not just open up to QB Chandler to
take advantage of them GoDaddy.com Bowl Betting Odds. Even with
such lackluster competition Northern Illinois has been unreliable
for bettors, going 5-8 Against the Spread this season. They
do score more points per game and have the edge in yards per game,
but c'mon, their last game was against Cal-Poly.
In the mid-90's these two teams were conference opponents and
Northern Illinois owned Arkansas State, winning 5 of their 6
meetings. Well, they haven't played in nearly 15 years so we doubt
anyone still remembers except for a few die-hards. For those
die-hards though, revenge could very well be in sight. Arkansas
State is the better team, has faced better competition and can
actually man up and play defense down the stretch. This could be a
close, close game but one defensive stand should make the
difference. Wolves over Huskies.
