AAA's 10* MAC SIDE OF WEEK (75% ALL CFB L/Saturday!)
(NCAAF) NIU vs. Western Michigan, 10/08/2016 2:30 PM, Score: 30 - 45
Point Spread: 17.50 | -110.00 NIU (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* MAC SIDE OF THE WEEK on Northern Illinois.

Setting the scene: We think the 5-0 Broncos come in a bit complacent today, leaving the back door open just enough for the hungry 1-4 Huskies to sneak in through down the stretch.

Northern Illinois: The Huskies come into this one with a bit of confidence after picking up their first win of the year, 31-24 against Ball State last weekend. The offense really started to click and we're expecting that momentum to be carried over tonight, note that the unit posted a whopping 653 total yards. Keep your eyes on WR Kenny Golladay, who had 13 catches for 184 yards and two TD's.

Western Michigan: The Broncos rolled over Central Michigan last week 49-10. The defense posted eight sacks and two turnovers, icnluding an INT pick-six. So far the offense averages 459.6 YPG, including 247 on the ground.

The bottom line: With a date against 0-5 Akron next weekend, WMU has hit a soft part of its schedule and we think the home side comes in disinterested and takes its foot off the gas. Grab as many points as you can, play on NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
