Mid-American Conference Championship
Northern Illinois VS Bowling Green +6.5
Friday — 7:00 PM ET (ESPN 2)
Northern Illinois is in their second season under head coach Rod Carey.
Carey served as offensive coordinator under a coach (Dave Doeren) that led the Huskies to a BCS Bowl game in 2012. Carey, so far, has been able to continue the success that Doeren started.
The Huskies went 12-2 last season and have a chance to go 12-2 again this season.
If Carey can lead Northern Illinois to a MAC championship win in his second season, he might follow the steps of Dave Doeren and catapult himself to a better job.
Zach’s prediction: Northern Illinois 31 Bowling Green 27
