N. Illinois has been pretty horid thus far. They are 0-3 and coming off a loss as a 12.5 point favorite. As a result, the public has overreacted. This game opened up as a pick 'em and has moved all the way to Idaho -3. Idaho is 1-2 on the season and they've been outscored 58-96. The Huskies have gone 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games vs. non-conference foes. Huskies RB Justin Anderson is averaging 4.8 yards per carry and QB Dan Nicholson is hitting 69% of his passes. Against the Vandals, we think they can have some success. In contrast, Idaho's Nathan Enderle, a redshirt freshman, is really struggling, completing just 44%. Joe Novak is a solid coach with a 31-20 ATS road record at N. Illinois, including a good 8-1 mark when coming off three straight losses. We like N. Illinois' chances at an upset here.
