\"The<\/a>
The Northern Illinois Huskies have won 29 consecutive home games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Central Michigan is preparing for a key Mid-American Conference West Division clash, as it looks to build off a 28-10 victory over the Ohio Bobcats as 3.5-point home favorites last week, while going UNDER the betting total for the third time in four contests.\u00a0 The Chippewas have been getting after it on the defensive side of the ball, as they rank second in the conference in surrendering just 357.5 yards per game, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 7 college football betting picks.\u00a0 Central Michigan is 5-13 SU and 6-12 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 10-6 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Chippewas own a 25-23-1 advantage in this all-time series, which is important to consider when looking over the college football odds page, as that includes a 9-14-1 mark when playing in Dekalb.\u00a0 Central Michigan is capable of moving the football behind an offensive line that has made a total of 112 combined starts\u2014using the same five players in each game to this point.\u00a0 The group has allowed the squad to rush for 181.0 yards per game on average in its three wins to this point.<\/p>\n

Northern Illinois is set to celebrate its Homecoming in hopes of extending its winning streak to 29 games at Brigham Field at Huskie Stadium, while it has also captured its last 24 MAC regular season games dating back to Oct. 8, 2011.\u00a0 The Huskies\u2019 50 wins since 2010 ranks second among all FBS teams behind only the Oregon Ducks, which includes a 16-4 mark under head coach Rod Carey since he took over the program in the 2013 Orange Bowl.\u00a0 Northern Illinois is 4-1 SU and 2-3 ATS as favorites of 10.5 to 21 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Huskies have won 38 of their last 39 games when allowing 24 or fewer points, while they should have success running the ball as well in this matchup\u2014returning four starters on the offensive line who have combined for 126 starts over the last three seasons.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Chippewas due to their 5-3 SUATS record in October the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n
