Three Star Special:
Toledo @ Northern Illinois - Line is NIU -11.5 - Both these teams come into this game rolling and both have a 5-0 record in conference. This game is for sole possession of first place in West division of the Mid-American conference - in case you didn't know that already. On paper, the Northern Illinois Huskies are the better team. They rush the ball effectively and play defense. They also turn the ball over considerably less than the Toledo Rockets. However, you know how much the Locksmith loves taking the points in these nationally televised games with big implications. The little guy also shows up big knowing that this is his season's Super Bowl. Toledo is riding high following a 42-7 thrashing of Eastern Michigan. We think they carry enough momentum into this game and make enough impact plays (forcing turnovers, big special team returns, etc.) to keep this thing close throughout. We'll gladly take the 11.5 points and climb aboard the Rockets for the evening. Final score is 26-22. LOCK IT UP
