Northern Illinois Huskies #171 over Iowa Hawkeyes: Low total on this game making the points offered that much more substantial. Iowa has 2 suspensions on their OL and 2 more on the DL. Iowa is a conservative grinding type of team which is difficult to cover this size of line vs. a good NI team. NI has 8 starters back on offense incl all 5 on the offensive line. NI won here last year. Simply too many points for an Iowa team with distractions to be spotting in the 1st game of the year.
