Miami-OH vs Northern Illinois Prediction

You can make a case for the NIU Huskies and the points, considering they’re coming off back to back wins. However, the Miami-OH RedHawks have played their best ball at home, which includes four straight wins and its senior night for a roster that includes 21 seniors. Also, Miami-OH is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 games as a favorite. I’d need more points to consider Northern Illinois on the road. I’ll lay the small chalk with the RedHawks at home.
