Northern Illinois vs. South Florida College Bowl Picks - The 2010 International Bowl: 2009-10 college football bowl season gets a Noon ET start on Saturday in a MAC vs. BIG EAST showdown when the Huskies of Northern Illinois (7-5) square off with the University of South Florida Bulls in the International Bowl at Rogers Centre, Toronto, Canada. College bowl oddsmakers at online sportsbook BetUS.com has lined USF as a 7-chalk ATS and -270 moneyline favorite versus the Huskies with a 48 1/2 total. NIU backers are getting +230 moneyline odds as the underdog. Following the football feast of New Years Day, this game might not look like a marquee matchup but for pure college football enthusiasts who like to wager on football it's another opportunity to test your expertise. On paper today's game should be very competitive. Northern Illinois is known for running the football and this team averages over 200 yards per game on the ground, something coach Jim Leavitt and his USF Bulls must be prepared to defense. Running back Chad Spann led the Huskies, and was one of three Huskies to garner first team All-Mac selections. Spann fished the season with 945 yards on 159 carries and a conference-high 19 touchdowns. The Bulls were led this season by the multi-talented quarterback B.J. Daniels, who completed 108 of 205 passes for 1,766 yards and 12 touchdowns. The red-shirt freshman also eluded defenses on the ground, rushing for 798 yards and nine scores. Junior wide receiver Carlton Mitchell has been a force on offence for the Bulls. In the season finale he broke South Florida's career receiving yards record of 1,523 yards.
