img3:30 PM Eastern

I had the OVER when Hawaii visited Wyoming on September 26, and it finished 27-10. Wyoming scored 27 that day and has not topped 21 in a game since. Northern Illinois is 0-5 and allows 34.6 points per game, tied for 130th among the 138 FBS teams. All five of its opponents have scored 28 or more, including 40 for Iowa and 42 for Arizona, and they have gained 395 yards per game against it. Northern Illinois scores 12.4 points per game, 138th, and its high is the 24 it scored against Illinois State on September 12. Wyoming scores 14.5, tied for 135th, and allows 20.5, 44th. Wyoming has lost the ball 11 times in six games, and Northern Illinois has lost it seven times in five. The Hawaii defense it scored on allows 25.7 points per game, and this Northern Illinois defense allows about nine more. Air Force got its 28 last Saturday on 67 rushes and one pass. Take the OVER in Laramie on Saturday.
