Northern Illinois vs Eastern Michigan Game Preview

Why Northern Illinois Will Win

The Huskies can still run the ball.

They might be having a ton of turnover problems, and the defense is struggling, but the defending MAC champion is averaging 4.6 yards per carry and can keep things moving on third downs.

Eastern Michigan might be doing a decent job lately, but start running on this bunch and good things happen. Buffalo was able to win with over 200 yards on the ground and four scores, Louisiana was able to throw, and NIU is versatile enough

However …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 6

Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

Northern Illinois is struggling.

Granted, the schedule hasn’t been a breeze, but the six turnovers over the last two games have ben a killer, the defense can’t stop anyone from throwing well, and Eastern Michigan has its guy back.

The offense struggles for a few games, and then QB Taylor Powell was back and it all clicked in the 45-23 win over Western Michigan. As long as the passing game hits the 60% mark, and as long there aren’t a slew of turnovers to give NIU easy chances, the Eagles should be okay.

What’s Going To Happen

Northern Illinois is overdue for a brilliant performance, but it’s been waiting to break through for a while.

Eastern Michigan will be fine as long as it keeps the Huskie offense from going off. Keep it from being balanced, and keep it from getting to 450 yards, and all should be fine.

The EMU passing game should keep the chains moving and take control of the game at home.

Why Northern Illinois Will Win

This is a weird team that can’t seem to put it together.

The running game isn’t moving, and the defense gives up a whole lot of points, but the offense dominates the time of possession battle and the D is great at getting off the field on third down stops.

The passing attack is as good as it’s been in a while for the program, but it can’t keep the chains moving.

There are just enough decent parts to potentially click on the right day – that’s what Eastern Michigan might be for.

The Eagles might be coming off a win, but they’re not playing any defense, the ground game doesn’t really work, and they struggle way too much against the run.

But again …

Week 15 College Schedule

Why Eastern Michigan Will Win

Northern Illinois can’t seem to put it together.

That might be vague, but that’s the only way to put it. It hasn’t lost the same way in any of the five games – it’s a versatile losing team.

Eastern Michigan’s passing game has been fantastic throughout the year, and it went up a few notching over the last two weeks with two straight monster-yard games from Preston Hutchinson. As long as he’s not turning the ball over like he did in the loss to Central Michigan, the offense should be way too much for a NIU defense that gives up over 38 points per game.

However …

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

The Huskies will come up with a few interceptions.

They generated one in each of the first three games before getting two last week against Toledo. It still won’t be enough.

Eastern Michigan has an offense that can consistently produce, and NIU doesn’t have the defensive front that can do anything about it.
