Northern Illinois at Massachusetts

Northern Illinois likes to slow the pace down and play tough defense. They will definitely do that today against an unbeaten UMass team. Five of Northern Illinois's seven games have been decided by seven points or less, with four of those games being decided by five points or less. The Huskies are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. Three of NIU's four losses this season have been by a combined 12 points. The Huskies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. UMass is likely to be looking past this game, and the Minutemen are 2-6 ATS in their last eight vs. the MAC. Take Northern Illinois.
