OC Dooley:“2 UNIT” COLLEGE PERCENTAGE UNDERDOG (Northern Illinois +11 at Kent State in a 7:00 eastern tipoff): You will see at the bottom of this analysis an UNDEFEATED two-year angle which supports underdog Northern Illinois who according to the ESPN.com daily RPI report have the most difficult conference schedule in the entire NATION. For those who follow Northern Illinois they have traditionally struggled in Mid-American Conference play (18-53 since 2009) and already are a dismal 1-5 this campaign. But in this “series” Northern Illinois is finally starting to break through as they actually defeated Kent State on the scoreboard a year ago (67-65 final score) on a BUZZER BEATER which marked their first outright triumph versus the Golden Flashes in an entire DECADE. In the middle of January these pair of conference foes met each other again in what turned into an OVERTIME thriller where Kent State basically survived. Admittedly Kent State is coming off an outright upset where they were cast as an underdog which actually makes them a “bet against” according to my research. In the past three years after an underdog outright upset triumph Kent State (3-15 ATS/HOME) have been a disaster for investors when in front of their own fans. Getting back to Northern Illinois they actually lead their conference in rebounding pulling down on average 38 board per contest and also have a high national ranking (#18) in “offensive” rebounding. In the past two years after actually “failing” to cover the spread twice in a three-game span, Northern Illinois is UNDEFEATED ON THE ROAD (8-0 against the spread) where it counts
