\"Week<\/a>
Northern Illinois and Bowling Green will battle it out Tuesday night in a Mid-American Conference showdown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Northern Illinois is set to play its third consecutive Mid-American Conference road game, which will also be its second straight Tuesday night game on ESPN.\u00a0 The Huskies came away with a thrilling 63-60 win over the Toledo Rockets last week as 9.5-point road underdogs.\u00a0 First-year head coach Dave Doeren was on cloud nine after tallying the victory.\u00a0 \u201cExcited about what I think was one of the best college football games I\u2019ve definitely been a part of,\u201d commented Doeren after the game.\u00a0 The program has tallied a 25-13 record versus conference foes on the road since 2002.\u00a0 Northern Illinois is 0-2 ATS as a road favorite the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Huskies are 6-10 all-time versus the Falcons, but have come away with victories in three of the last four meetings, including a 16-13 win as seven-point home favorites on Oct. 25, 2008.\u00a0 Quarterback Chandler Harnish is the star of the show, running for 133 yards and passing for 265 more in last week\u2019s thriller.\u00a0 For his career, He has surpassed 10,000 total yards in offense, throwing for 7,690 and running for 2,475 more.\u00a0 The 123 points scored in the contest was the most in a MAC non-overtime game.<\/p>\n

Bowling Green has lost four of its last five games, but tallied spread victories in its two opportunities as home underdogs against the Toledo Rockets and Temple Owls during October.\u00a0 The Falcons were handed a 27-15 loss by the Kent State Golden Flashes as 3.5-point home favorites to close out the month, playing that contest without freshman running back Anthon Samuel.\u00a0 He was suffering from post-concussion symptoms, but appears to be ready to rejoin the team for this Week 10 tilt.\u00a0 \u201cHis symptoms had pretty much cleared up,\u201d stated Falcons head coach Dave Clawson.\u00a0 \u201cRight now we plan on having him.\u201d\u00a0 Bowling Green is 3-0 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 10 points this year.<\/p>\n

The Falcons weren\u2019t able to do much on the ground without Samuel in the backfield, gaining just 45 total rushing yards.\u00a0 Bowling Green does have a capable passing attack led by quarterback Matt Schilz and wide receiver Kamar Jorden, as the two connected 12 times for 203 yards versus Kent State in a losing effort.\u00a0 From a postseason standpoint, the program must win its three remaining games to become bowl eligible, as one of its victories came against a non-FBS opponent.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Falcons due to their 11-4 ATS mark in November, while the Huskies are 1-4 ATS on the road.<\/p>\n
