We'd have Northern Illinois as a 4.5 point favorite if this game were neutral, but in DeKalb were they are 17-1 SU and 11-2 ATS we will clearly back them. Western Michigan was 1-11 SU on the road before pulling an upset Friday as they came back from a 18 point deficit and won in OT but they are now playing their 4th road game in their last 5. While Northern Illinois only ranks #10 in the MAC in FG% they are still ahead Western Michigan (#11) but when it comes to the defensive side of the ball the Huskies lead the MAC while the Broncos are dead last. Northern Illinois has also covered the spread in 11 of the last 13 home games.
