De Paul is struggling this season on offense and they have won one game in their last five games. This team should not be played until they figure some things out on defense and especially in their shooting capabilities, they need to make their shots and they are failing so far. They have played NIU well in the past but they may not be a threat in this game so take the better team right now in NIU who can control the pace of the game and overpower them with their rebounding prowess and defense. The game will be tight but NIU can keep it within the point margin, maybe winning it outright.

Northern Illinois are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Northern Illinois are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games against DePaul. Northern Illinois are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games on the road. DePaul are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. DePaul are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games at home.

Best bet: take the points with NIU.
