Northern Illinois Hopes to Extend Winning Streak
The Northern Illinois Huskies are 3-3 in the MAC, keeping them out of contention to make the conference championship game.

The Huskies offense has performed at a high level during their recent winning streak, averaging 35.5 points per game in their last two outings. Another big game on offense from NIU here would throw a major wrench into the MAC championship hunt.

With their only home loss of the season coming against Cincinnati of the Big 12, Miami (OH) will feel confident coming into this game.
Northern Illinois vs Miami (OH) Best Bet

This Northern Illinois vs Miami (OH) game will come down to which defense can impose their will against a surging offensive opponent.
