RJ’s take: Like Iowa, NIU will throw the ball. On third-and-long. To a tight end. In the flat. But that’s about the extent of Thomas Hammock’s aerial attack.
The Huskies mushers. Expect Antario Brown, who rushed for 1,296 on 212 rushes, and Gavin Williams, who averaged 5.1 yards per rush on 95 carries in 2023, to be the offense Hammock runs NIU through.
Northern Illinois’ Win Total Odds: Over 6.5 (-125) Under 6.5 (-105)
