Quarterback Jase Bauer leads this Chips offense. Bauer has thrown for 1,221 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions.

Running back Myles Bailey leads the backfield. Bailey has rushed for a team-high 360 yards and three touchdowns.

Wide receiver Jesse Prewitt III has been the favorite target of Bauer. Pewitt has hauled in 26 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns.

Northern Illinois vs. Central Michigan Pick

I will trust the dog at home.

Central Michigan has played great at home this year with a perfect 3-0 record.

This team loves to run the football and control the clock.

I see this as a low-scoring rock fight that favors the Chips tonight.
