Northern Illinois vs Elon Prediction
Elon is the better team and should be favored, but this is a lot of points for a team that usually doesn’t get these prices often. Also, Elon is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 games as a double-digit favorite. While not super talented, Northern Illinois competes and just beat Wofford as an underdog. Northern Illinois also upset App State and UNC Greensboro in the underdog role. Northern Illinois may struggle defensively and doesn’t have many options offensively, but it finds a way and knows how to finish if games are close late. Give me the points.
