The Northern Illinois Huskies aim for their second straight win when they visit the Toledo Rockets for a Wednesday night MAC matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, NIU\u2019s offense has been quiet all season, and that\u2019s a key factor in why I\u2019m backing the Under in my Northern Illinois vs. Toledo predictions and college football picks<\/a> below.<\/p>\n Want to make sure Covers shows up often in your Google search results and Discover feed? Northern Illinois vs Toledo prediction<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo best bet: Under 42.5 (-110)<\/p>\n There have been few FBS teams that have been less productive on offense this year than the Northern Illinois Huskies<\/a>. The Huskies rank 133rd in yards per play, 136th in yards per passing attempt, and 134th in scoring at just 13.4 ppg. <\/p>\n It\u2019s not as though the Huskies have been playing a world-class schedule, either. Sure, you can excuse nine points against Maryland and 10 against Mississippi State as simply being outclassed against power conference foes, but Northern Illinois hasn\u2019t scored more than 21 points against any opponent this year, including scoring just 19 against Holy Cross.<\/p>\n The Huskies have stayed in games by playing slow \u2014 they rank 127th in FBS in averaging just 61.7 players per game \u2014 and by hanging tough defensively, allowing only 22.1 ppg, but even that won\u2019t be enough against the Toledo Rockets<\/a>, who have been outstanding defensively, giving up just 4.0 yards per play, the fourth-best mark in the country.<\/p>\n Both defenses should shine on Wednesday, and it\u2019s hard to see how Northern Illinois will be able to move the ball much against the Rockets at all. In a slow, grinding slog of a game, the Under is my bet.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo same-game parlay<\/p>\n While a spread of more than 14 points is always a bit scary, the Rockets are clearly the better team, and I expect them to cover at home. Toledo\u2019s defense has been particularly stingy against the running game, which should put a stop to Telly Johnson\u2019s recent run of big games for the Huskies.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo SGP<\/p>\n Under 42.5 Our deep-ball SGP: Ready for takeoff<\/p>\n Tucker Gleason has gone Over this total in each of his last four games and is a good bet to do so again against a mediocre Northern Illinois defense.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo SGP<\/p>\n Under 42.5 Northern Illinois vs Toledo game predictions There\u2019s not much value here, but this is a mismatch; even if Northern Illinois slows the Rockets on defense, there\u2019s no way that offense will score enough to win.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo spread prediction<\/p>\n Toledo has been by far the better team this year, and could come close to shutting out the Huskies, which should be enough to cover the spread at home.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo Over\/Under prediction<\/p>\n Northern Illinois plays slow, doesn\u2019t score, and is fairly effective on defense \u2014 all of which are pushing me towards the Under in this one.<\/p>\n Northern Illinois vs Toledo odds<\/p>\n Spread: Northern Illinois +14.5 | Toledo -14.5 Northern Illinois vs Toledo trend to know<\/p>\n Northern Illinois is 6-2 to the Under this season.
