BOCA RATON BOWL -- This meager total suggests the anticipation of a defensive battle, but both clubs have capable playmakers on the offensive side. Northern Illinois started slow but clipped 30 or more points three times in the past five games. The Blazers average just short of 30 points and have scored 42 or more three times. When you factor in the sometimes-risky play calling often seen in bowl games, there's value on the Over in this one.
BOCA RATON BOWL -- Northern Illinois has been a very resilient bunch throughout the season. Its defense has done a great job of bailing out an inconsistent offensive attack throughout the year. Where the Huskies will find themselves getting into trouble in this game against the Blazers is UAB's equally tough defense. What also separates UAB is its offense, especially the ground game. The Huskies generally play close games. This one, because of the matchup, will be different.
BOCA RATON BOWL - These are two teams that won conference titles thanks in large part to their defenses. This bowl game won't be much different for either of them, and I expect a low-scoring affair.
