Central Michigan vs Northern Illinois Prediction
The Northern Illinois Huskies are the better team at home, and it’s senior night, so they should be the favorites. However, double-digit chalk is insane. Neither Central Michigan nor Northern Illinois is a good football team, and I’m not going to lay this many points with either side. Northern Illinois is 94th in scoring offense and has been held to single-digit points in two of its last five games. It’s the Chippewas and the points or pass for me.
