NIU vs. Ball St. One thing that catches my eye

[HookEmHorns]

Hello all


I thought I would stop by to share my thoughts on the NIU game tonight.


Ball St., statistically, is not that good on defense. Particularly, they are 95th in the nation giving up an average of 188 yds a game on the ground. To the contrary, NIU is ranked 13th in the nation in rushing yards at an average of 269.4 a game. NIU should be able to move the ball easily on the ground. This will open up the pass, if needed, and keep them a balanced attack.

How is Ball St. going to be able to stop NIU on offense?

The only way I see Ball St. staying in this one is by being able to shoot down the field on offense and turn it into a high scoring game. Therefore, the question is whether Ball St can keep up?

I lean toward NIU -3, but if Ball St can keep up, then it could go over. I've noticed the total rise in the past couple of hours. Regardless, I think NIU should put up a lot of points. I think the safest bet here is:

Northern Illinois University TT OVER 33

Feel free to share your thoughts on this as well.

GL!

I don't know much about Ball St but NIU - which version are we going to get? They're so wishy-washy.

 

[HookEmHorns]

Hopefully they run in big chunks. The line certainly seems a little fishy at only being 3

Was thinking the same in regards to NIU TT Over, but always weary with MAC games..

Donkwin - MAC games can be tough to call sometimes, but I've had some luck with them in the past. Hopefully it continues tonight!

Vikin65 - Good deal..BOL!

I don't think N. Illinois has proven much yet this season. A decent win vs. NWestern & then wins over Presbyterian, UNLV & the dregs of the MAC in Mia (O), Kent & E. Mich. The only three teams they played with a pulse held them to 285 yards rushing combined. I agree that Ball St. has a bad rush defense, but I think they can contain the Huskies enough to hold them to FG's a few times instead of TD's & score enough to pull the small upset. I'm using them to fill out an open 7 pt teaser I have just to be safe, so hopefully we both win.

good call. this is a rout

 

[dg84]

Looks like I couldn't have been more wrong so far.
