Northern Illinois vs Miami Ohio Prediction
Miami Ohio is comfortably the better team and at home where it’s won 13 straight games. Northern Illinois hasn’t won a game in a month and is winless on the road. With all that said, Northern Illinois keeps getting these inflated lines and has covered seven of its last 10 games. It’s never pretty with Northern Illinois, but the Huskies are cashing tickets lately and that’s all I care about. The underdog has covered five of the last six games between Northern Illinois and Miami Ohio. I’ll take a shot with NIU and the points on Tuesday night.
