It looks like the marketplace is still giving NIU a bit to much credit for that rousing upset of Notre Dame in early September. Overlooked, apparently, is the Huskies' 1-3 SU mark that has made them an also-ran in the MAC, as losses to Toledo and Ball State have dropped NIU from the race and made bowl eligibility a question. Using two QBs (Ethan Hampton and Josh Holst) has not helped offensive continuity. Meanwhile, all the Broncos have done is win all four of their MAC games, scoring 45 pg in the process, as QB Hayden Wulff has an 11 TDP/1 int ratio in MAC play. Finally, as WMU is getting points (albeit only a few), the underdog side is 20-4-1 vs. the line in NIU's last 25 games vs. FBS-level opposition. Play Western Michigan
