(16) Northern Illinois (10 - 0) 31 @ Toledo (7 -
3) 28: Northern Illinois needs to win tonight to clinch the MAC West title. A
loss would throw the Huskies into a tie with Ball State and Toledo with one
game remaining. All three teams will be heavily favored next week, so this
should be a very hard fought game. On paper, Northern Illinois scores more
points and gives up less than Toledo. But Toledo's playing at home and they do
score enough points to give Northern Illinois a fight. I'm tempted to pick the
upset here, but I think the visitors have just enough to stay unbeaten and get
a berth in the MAC championship game. However, I wouldn't necessarily count out
the Rockets if they can get a turnover or two and an early lead.
