The Broncos may be in the middle of a losing streak, but it is because of the failed 2 point conversion against Ball State. However, the Huskies are a team that does not have a lot of offensive production in the game and that will be tested here, but the Huskies will finally overcome the Broncos tenacious offense here. Final Score, Northern Illinois Huskies win, but do not cover ATS 24-21.
