Northern Illinois vs Toledo Prediction
Northern Illinois has lost eight of its last 10 games and is winless on the road. Toledo is coming off a nice win over Ohio on the road and brings in an offense that’s top-100 in scoring and field goal percentage. Toledo has also covered seven of its last 10 games. Massive line for two not-so-great teams in the MAC, but Northern Illinois is clearly a different level of suck and can’t be trusted in the betting market. Toledo should win this game comfortably, so I’ll lay the points if forced to pick. However, there are much better options out there on a stacked Saturday CBB card.
