Toledo Rockets betting news
Toledo has run through the MAC and has been dominant along the way. After losing their season-opener to Illinois, the Rockets have won nine games in a row. They're now inching toward an AP Top 25 ranking. With the third-most votes outside of the teams in the Top 25, chances are they will earn a ranking going into next week if Toledo can beat Bowling Green.
Toledo's team centers around star quarterback Dequan Finn, who has over 2,000 yards passing with 18 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Finn is also second on the team in rushing with 499 yards and five rushing touchdowns. If Bowling Green has any chance in this game, it starts with trying to slow down Finn.
Bowling Green Falcons betting news
Bowling Green would need some help, but the Falcons are still in the division title race on their side of the MAC. It starts with winning against Toledo. If they don't, they are pretty much out of the division race.

Western Michigan vs. Northern Illinois live odds
Check out the live odds for Western Michigan vs. Northern Illinois from the best legal online sports betting apps.
Western Michigan Broncos betting news
Western Michigan needs a win to stay alive for bowl eligibility. It seemed highly doubtful that would be possible a few weeks ago when WMU was 2-6. Two wins in a row have given them a chance, but the Broncos will have to extend the streak to four straight games earn a trip to a bowl game.
The Broncos offense has propelled their win streak, scoring an average of 41.5 points in their last two games. They must keep it up, as the Huskies are a high-scoring offense.
Northern Illinois Huskies betting news
The Huskies are in the opposite position — they seemed all but assured of bowl eligibility two weeks ago until consecutive losses. Now they must win two in a row to get a bowl game. Their last two games were both under a touchdown margin, so Northern Illinois needs to do a better job in clutch time to give themselves a chance against Western Michigan.

Western Michigan vs. Northern Illinois betting prediction

Akron Zips betting news
Akron has not played good football this season, and the program will probably need to make some tough decisions in the offseason with the coaching staff and their player personnel. They are not a good bet to cover — the Zips haven't covered a single time in their last six.
Eastern Michigan Eagles betting news
The Eagles started the season pretty well and were off to a 4-3 start. After losing three straight games, Eastern Michigan is now just trying to find a way to get bowl-eligible. Playing Akron is the perfect opponent for a get-right game and to end their two-game losing streak.

Akron vs. Eastern Michigan betting prediction
Neither team has played good football lately, but EMU has shown the ability to play well at times this season. Playing a weaker opponent could be the Eagles' chance to move one step closer to going bowling this year.
