Today is Halloween and if you’re a parent, like me, your evening is already fully booked with costumes, candy and endless trick-or-treating.

This means that it’s very unlikely I will be home for long enough to sweat some Tuesday night MACtion.

However, that doesn’t mean I can’t bet on it, either.

Since I will be busy attempting to wrangle sugar-crazed kids, I turned to the Action Network’s PRO betting tools to determine the smartest college football spread prediction for tonight.

And after doing just that, I settled on the following prediction for Northern Illinois vs. Central Michigan.

College Football Spread Prediction: Northern Illinois vs. Central Michigan 


Northern Illinois has stretched from -2 to -6 as of the time of writing and we can thank professional bettors for this spread movement.

According to Action Labs’ Bet Signals, which track and report smart money in real-time, sharps have steamed the Huskies on multiple occasions over the past few days, leaving oddsmakers little choice but to react by lengthening this number.

Steam refers to sudden, uniform line movement across the market that is often the result of bettors with the resources and respect to move odds getting down on the same side of the same game at multiple sportsbooks, all at once.

As I just mentioned, some shops have moved to Northern Illinois -6, though there are still some -5.5s out there, so be sure to shop for the best line if laying the points tonight.
