Thursday Night College Football Betting: Eastern Michigan at Northern Illinois

The winless No Illinois Huskies at 7:30 pm ET at Husky Stadium in a Thursday night Mid American Conference clash.

College Football Betting Odds:

Eastern Michigan Eagles +20
No Illinois Huskies -20
O/U 48

It is hard to expect that a team that hasn’t won a single game this season is going to pull an upset on the road, especially if up against the 15th rank rushing offense in the country.

Huskies RBs Chad Spann and Me'co Brown have shared carries all year long transforming their offense a dynamic attack.  Both players have more than 500 rushing yards this season but it seems like Spann is the goal line back as he has scored 13 times compared to the 5 from Brown.

Keep mind Eastern Michigan has the worst run defense in the Mid American Conference allowing 277.1 rushing yards per game and 27 totals TD thru the ground this season.
Northern Illinois QB Chandler Harnish is doubtful because of a knee injury that has kept him on the side lines the past two games.  Backup QB DeMarcus Grady has no TDs or INTs in those games due to not throwing very much.  Expect this trend to continue.

The few opportunities the Eagles have to pursuit their first win must be in the duo Kyle McMahon - Jacory Stone, both players should have a good day win or lose.

Football College Betting Tip: If you are betting on the game total keep in mind it has gone UNDER in 4 of Northern Illinois's last 6 game and but also it has gone OVER in 4 of Eastern Michigan's last 6 games.

My pick: Huskies will cover the spread.  Over.
