10* WEDNESDAY 'TRADE-MARK!' > > OFF 4-STRAIGHT WINNING CARDS!
(NCAAF) Central Michigan vs. NIU,
Point Spread: 8.00 | -113.00 NIU (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Northern Illinois (10* TRADE-MARK).

CMU comes in off a tight 30-27 win over Ohio last weekend. QB Daniel Richardson had a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the victory. The Chips defense lost some key players over the offseason and I think they'll have their hands full with this hungry Huskies team, looking for its first win of the season. There's only six games being played in the MAC season, so every contest counts. NIU lost 49-30 to Buffalo in its opener. Ross Bowers took the majority of snaps and he had 202 passing yards and a touchdown. Let's not over-react to Week 1 results. These team's defenses are poor and I think that Bowers will have some opportunties tonight. No outright, but closer than expected; grab the points!

T.M. Prediction: 31-27 CMU.
