Northern Illinois has only had two wins all season and heads to Akron with a 2-11 mark. One of those two wins was against Akron, where they cashed in as an 8.5 point underdog. The Zips are 12-4 on the season, and the line here looks kind of off. There is little if any home-court advantage in NCAA Basketball this season due to covid, and suddenly Akron goes from -8.5 to -16.5. Akron has also allowed two of their last three opponents to shoot over 50% against them. I think Akron will get revenge here, but the line is unjustified here. Make the play on Northern Illinois.
