Poinsettia Bowl San Diego, CA
Utah State vs, Northern Illinois 9:30 ET
Aggies (+) over Huskies- Golly I took it on the chin with Boise State but I am more then going to make up for it with this winner. Northern Illinois was one win away from a chance to play in a BCS bowl for the second straight year and even with Heisman finalist Jordan Lynch leading the Huskies this year they will not be ready emotionally to play this game. The blew their chance didn't even win the conference championship and here they are a day after Christmas (Not New Years' Day as they were planning). The odds makers are well aware of this and that is why Northern Illinois is such a small favorite over a Mountain West team that lost five games. Utah State is seventh in the nation in total defense and will be able to manage to contain the Huskies one-man gang in Lynch. Take UTAH STATE!
