Northern Illinois at Eastern Michigan

The 4-8 Northern Illinois Huskies will travel to take on the 6-6 Eastern Michigan Eagles. While the Huskies are just 4-8 on the season, they carry a scoring margin of just -1 point per contest, which means this team has been much more competitive than the record would indicate. Eastern Michigan, on the other hand, has a scoring margin of -5 despite their .500 record in the season. Neither of these teams shoots the ball well, and both are weak at defending the three. Looking at the stats for these teams, I see they are much more closely matched than the line suggests. This game has a better chance of going to the wire than either team pulling away. The points look big here. Make the play on Northern Illinois.
