Five out of the seven are on the Huskies - and that's straight up, not with the points. Pretty surprising, really, given NIU is a ten point dog. You won't see that happen very often.

It's a bad line. I've got a pocketful of Huskie tickets. They may get hammered in this game, who knows, but there is no reason to think Marshall should be significantly favored in this one. Double digit lines typically are reserved for games when there is a clear cut more talented team involved. I can't see how that is the case in this matchup.

Totally agree. Usually supplement my income with betting the MAC...just feel like they often put numbers up just to have it on the board. Usually stay away from the Huskies b/c heart over brain....but I used my brain vs BG and vs NW this year and got $$$. I see this one the same way. There is a select handful of teams in the entire country that merit the Huskies being double digit dogs, I don't see how Marshall is one of them. Our arrow is pointing up, seem to have great sr leadership and motivation, Loos, Santa, Akeem, Durante, etc. which is huge in bowls. Our strengths play to their weaknesses. Hammering the Dogs knowing there is always that shot of Cato getting hot and us possibly not being able to hang in a track meet, but I just don't see it.
