Miami has won the last three head-to-head meetings, and are 8-1 ATS in the last nine games against NIU.

Looking at what these two teams have done more recently, I give Miami the edge with a 3-0 home record in the MAC, which includes a 10-point win over Ohio and a 39 point victory over Central Michigan.

There's are the top two defenses in the MAC, but I give the Miami offense the advantaged needed to get the win at home.
