Northern Illinois at Miami Ohio

Miami has had a season to forget as they enter this one with a futile 0-7 mark. They have managed to score just 71 points in the seven games, or just 10 per contest. And they have been a turnover machine. Their four turnovers last week leaves them with an unbelievable -21 on the season in net turnovers. I'm not sure if I’ve ever seen a team play that bad and accumulate those kind of numbers through just seven games - that is an average of -3 a game. It doesn't get much better on the other side of the ball for the Redbirds as their defense is surrendering 35.4 points per game,. Overall they are getting outscored by nearly four TDs per game. Northern Illinois should be in a nasty mood after dropping a one-point decision as a TD favorite at Toledo. This is a team that hung within a score of both Wisconsin and Purdue on the road. The talent level is dramatically lopsided here and the Huskies should be in the mood to play, so unless something really strange happens, they should win this one by a minimum of 14 points. I'll go with Northern Illinois here.
