Taking NORTHERN ILLINOIS here. I will be the first to say NIU is a little down this year. But at 15-1 in MACaction mid-week games, you have to grab them and the points here. This is still a talented team. They have won their last 2 games and have also beaten Toledo 6 straight times. Rockets now in unfamiliar spot laying points on a the road to a team that has owned them. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ILLINOIS
