Latest Odds : Huskies -6 Total 37.5
Any time I see a total this low in College Football the alarm bells start going off in my head as I see some easy money. First with the first place team in the Mac West with a not far behind Akron team.
Weather conditions for this game will not be good as they are expecting heavy heavy rain in this game and I don't see passing being to much of an option. Both the Northern Illinois Huskies and the Akron Zips do not score many points to begin with.

Akron scores around 22.43 points per game and Northern Illinois ticks in just about 17 points per game both these numbers are super low for a college program. The Huskies rank 126th in the nation in scoring and the Zips of Akron just 111th.
Northern Illinois for a team that does not run the wishbone only averages about 133 passing yards per game which is putrid. Zips come in with revenge on their minds from last years 27-20 loss.

Akron has won 2 straight games and will be focused on the run heavy lead by running back Van Edwards Jr. who had 96 yards on 20 carries and 1 touchdown last week. The Huskies are coming off a huge road win at BYU winning 7-6.
Defense is no stranger to the Huskies evidence in holding BYU to just 6 points and earlier this season holding Utah Utes to just 17 points. This defense and the defense of the Zips I see really stepping up Thursday as both teams must win. I see this one going to Northern Illinois 13-12.
