Poinsettia Bowl — Utah State 21 Northern Illinois 14
What I Said:
"Even though Northern Illinois is only a slight favorite against Utah State, I believe they’ll win easily and send QB Jordan Lynch off with the perfect end to his illustrious career. Northern Illinois 24 Utah State 14"
Northern Illinois, who won their first 12 games of the season, lost their last two games to fall to 12-2 on the season. Utah State used a stifling defense to take down Northern Illinois.
