Northern Illinois-4.5 (1.5 units) - The Huskies have revenge from last year's 44-12 drubbing in DeKalb. NIU QB Rocky Lombardi final got on track in last week's loss (but spread cover) versus Toledo. Lombardi was 21 for 31 for 258 yards, 2 TD's and zero interceptions. Akron starting QB D.J. Irons is out for the year with a torn ACL. I have a three point drop off to back up Jeff Undercuffler.
