C. Carolina Chanticleers vs Northern Illinois Huskies Point Spread Picks

Cure Bowl - Orlando, FL
 
The Cure Bowl will have Coastal Carolina taking on Northern Illinois. The one thing that stands out from this game is it is the only Bowl game where both teams feature a top 10 in the nation rushing yard offense. The only four teams that ran for more yards per game are the three Military Academies and Minnesota. I think with both teams looking to control the clock, and having the ability to close out the game running the ball, that this game is going to play at a fast pace in terms of clock movement, and shorten the game, and scoring opportunities. We have all seen what happens in Military game matchups. Running the ball extensively leads to lower-scoring games than what is normally expected. Northern Illinois in their last 51 games vs a team that averages 31 or more points per game is 33-18 to the UNDER, and 7-0 ATS to the under following a game where both teams combined to score 60 or more points. Make the play on the UNDER.
