Northern Kentucky at Northern Illinois

Both Northern Kentucky and Northern Illinois easily found the win column in their opener. The Norse were particularly sharp in winning 102-38 and over the years a team that many are not familiar with has been a solid program. The Huskies may have more experience as they return all five starters but the Norse bring back three starters, some quality depth, and newcomers that look ready to step up. Northern Kentucky is also favored on the road, so you can quickly see that the oddsmakers are on board with this team. Lay the points and take Northern Kentucky.
