In Week 5, we hit our lone released situational play as Northern Illinois (-6.5) covered the spread in a 24-17 victory over Northern Illinois. Getting the best of the number paid off as many bettors pushed on -7 and some Northern Illinois bettors cashed as well, because +7.5 was available at some outlets Saturday morning before kickoff.

The Wolfpack had numerous chances to pull away in the second half, but a handful of miscues allowed the stubborn Huskies to keep it a one-score game. Even so, we'll take the victory by a half point and move forward to the top situational plays for Week 6 of the 2024 college football season.
