This Wednesday night game will see the Northern Illinois Huskies taking on the Toledo Rockets.
This game is between two MAC rivals that play in the West division. Northern Illinois won last years meeting 38-15.
Northern Illinois Huskies
The Huskies are coming off a bye week but were crushed the last time they played a game. They lost to Central Michigan 48-10, further decreasing their chances to make it to a bowl game. Northern Illinois can no longer afford to lose a game if they want to reach the all-important sixth win.
Their final three games come against a solid Rockets team, a below average Eastern Michigan side and a good Western Michigan side. They are going to have to improve greatly on both sides of the ball if they are going to finish with a game in December.

Speaking of the offense, they have been lackluster to say the least. Their passing offense is the only area of the offense that poses a threat. They pass for 245.2 yards per game. However, it is not like this an elite passing attack. They only rank 51st in FBS football.
The reason why they have to throw the ball a ton is because their run game is poor. Rushing for 118.8 yards per game will not help you control the clock and it just puts a ton more pressure on the quarterback. They must establish some kind of rushing attack in this game if they want any chance to win.
Now the defense has some areas of concern, but they are not the worst in the world. Especially in defending the pass, they rank 33rd in the country an allow an average of 198.1 yards per game.
Toledo Rockets
The Rockets come into this game on a two-game winning streak and are trying to stay in the race for the MAC West title. They are 3-2 in the conference, but beat Western Michigan and have yet to play Central Michigan. If they win out, they will likely make it to the MAC title game.

The offense for the Rockets starts with running the football. They are the 12th best rushing attack in the country, averaging 250.9 yards per game. The biggest question mark for this particular game is the health of their top running back. Bryant Koback left their last game with a leg injury and it is unclear if he will play against the Huskies.
The defense for the Rockets have been below average this season. Against MAC teams, they are allowing an average of 32.6 points per game. Luckily they are playing an offense that has had trouble moving the football. With this being the final home game for the Seniors, I think the Rockets will be able to put on a defensive show and limit the Huskies from scoring a ton of points.

The Rockets have yet to lose a home game and with this game being Senior Night, I expect them to come out and dominate.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Toledo Rockets -2.5
Toledo’s run game is too good and I believe they could run away with this game. I have no problem laying 2.5 with the better team, so the Rockets are my pick to cover the spread.
