The loss of Corcoran and WMU with an extra day of rest makes this a nail-biter. What else is new...? #thehardway

Huskies 31
Pantomime Horses 30

Huskies 36
Broncos 21

NIU 28
WMU 14

Somewhat surprised by the number of under-5 point margin predictions. I think you guys will win by double digits.

Betting line still at 10. The WMU QB situation is probably worse than ours.

NIU wins, but doesn't beat the spread.

Go Huskies, sink the boat.

Probably? It’s way worse lol. Goddard would be 6th in depth chart here lol

WMU 21
NIU 20

WMU rushes for 250 and passes for 50 yards
The 50 yards is one completion in which Smalls gets burned for a TD.
NIU blocks another punt.

Come on Huskies please beat this team!!!!

fairly balanced and informed preview with a very competitive and nail biting game including a close final score prediction.

Tempting as it is I gave up years ago making predictions often proving to be wrong more than right.

10 point spread seems way ridiculous to me..............has pot now been legalized for medical reasons in Michigan?

Fairly solid write up. Ironically, I think it will come down to which QB passes the ball most effectively. If Childers completes a deep pass or two (it will be there for the taking) NIU covers; if not, we likely lose the game; but only WMU,s young QB makes plays. It will be interesting to see how and when Graham is used. Not sure how we can extend our blocked punt streak.

Seeing Graham out there, its just a different thing. He runs ok, but in terms of durability its a struggle

I predict the game will be postponed due to a puddle of condensation at mid field. And if that doesn't happen, I say we win 24-10.

I'm afraid that condensation will be a puddle from Mission taking a leak there. NIU will send in the hazmat team and cancel the game - or move it to the Chessick Center.

You guys will kick our butts, you will stack the box and force Goddard to throw, and with your wind tunnel stadium and his inexperience, no chance he will be able to make good throws.

NIU 35

WMU 14

Yeah, it's supposed to be blowing pretty good tonight too. Going to be a lot of ground game for both teams.

Pretty good preview of the game, although I think a bit high for both NIU and WMU in scoring.

pretty good, except they got us confused with Central and therefore don't understand how the MAC west race is actually shaping up.

23-14 NIU. Missed XP. Boring football for most of the​ game. 3+ combined interceptions.
