Here's a nice article from ESPN giving us some props. http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfnation/post/_/id/115318/3-point-stance-mac-teams-continue-to-knock-off-power-5-foes

Good article but considering we've been blown out in our last few games against ranked teams I don't think that we should be mentioned in the same category with Boise State. We've been stomped by Russell's Wisconsin, No. 3 FSU (although we really missed a good opportunity keep it close), Arkansas last year, and Marshall at the Boca Bowl. We've had some amazing conference victories but our non conference resume is nowhere close to Boise's. I hope we can start to close the gap with an impressive performance against Ohio State. Our 2003 success in non conference seems a loooooong time ago...

Someone make me smarter at math (I don't understand betting)
If I put down $10 for NIU to win, what would I win? Or is that something that comes down based on the website/broker?

Apparently Ivan Maisel and ESPN didn't get the memo. If there is an effort to establish our branding as NIU I don't think it has been promoted strongly enough. Even our own play-by-play man (Baker) still refers to us as Northern Illinois. That would be the first place to start if the admin is serious about branding.

NIU needs a full time marketing person to counter any mention NoIll.

I think we have more important things to worry about. Like, when are they going to bring the cannon back?

I can recommend using Bovada man, I have many times and never had issues...$20 min payment can use credit/debit cards....
Depends on the odds, if it's a money line say +230, for ever $1 bet you win $2.30. The line will likely be -120, so you get like $18.50 for a $20 bet

I am thinking to keep the game close, that is 2 TD's or less, NIU needs a +4 turnover margin. That is easy enough isn't it?

So looking at the Vegas Odds it lists
Northern Illinois 8000
Ohio State -15000
For some reason I don't think that'd be $80 on 1 dollar, so I'm still trying to figure it out lol

This game gonna be ugly.
Coughing up 56 points over the first two games is a bit troublesome. Against the consensus #1 team in the nation with 3 QBs that could start most places, including the Chicago Bears? Ugh.
First time NIU will play a #1 team since 1986, a 34-0 loss to Miami (FL) at the old Orange Bowl.

Ohio State was ranked #1 when we played them in 2006. But yea, this could be very ugly.
RE: Week Pregame - All things NIU vs #1 OSU - MaddDawgz02 - 09-14-2015 10:55 AM
I honestly do not think there is 1 team in the nation that would be able to keep a less than 3 TD differential in Columbus this year

7 reported that he had at least an MCL sprain, so that is typically a 4 to 6 week injury if he didn't tear anything.
