Last week’s BSN Sports news reminded us that it was ‘Now or Never’ for Miami Ohio and Northwestern – and both delivered the goods in a major way: the RedHawks routed Akron from the get-go while the Wildcats delivered a SU win as 17.5-point dogs at Nebraska. In doing so, both kept their bowl hopes alive… though it will be much harder for the 4-5 ‘Hawks to hit the alleys as mediocre MAC teams can’t even get the free tickets they give away to a Ron Popeil infomercial audience, let alone a bowl invite. While Miami Ohio will win the East should they run the table, we feel a soft schedule (lined opposition 23-48 SU) will finally catch up with them. Steve Addazio’s red-faced Owls will be happy to return to the nest after ruining what looked to be a successful season with a pair of upset road losses. We doubt saying that Temple becomes bowl eligible with a win carries much weight – remember they won eight games last season under Al Golden and were left home for the holidays – but a 12-2 ATS mark at home in league play off back-to-back SU losses speaks volumes. There’ll be no reruns of the past two weeks as the Cosby Show snaps a laughable 0-5 ATS regular-season weekday log. Lay it if you play it. Oddsmakers currently have the Owls listed as 11½-point favorites versus the RedHawks, while the game's total is sitting at 41½.
