Uni has beaten northwestern this year and some other bcs schools in the past.

Thoughts?

If they still had Jordan Lynch yes but they don't so I'm going to say no.

Probably, considering Kingsbury could barely beat Central Arkansas at home...

I haven't really seen them play but I would say it's a strong possibility

They have won 17 road games in a row. Average over 300 yards rushing. They are unbeaten still, we cannot take anyone lightly. This looks light a trap game before A&M.

someone post NIU's Dline weight. I'm strongly considering taking Arkansas.

Yes. They're much more balanced regarding their running and passing.

NIU is more balanced offensively with a much better QB. They should move the ball and score some points. They need 12+ play drives to keep Hogs offense off the field.

NIU D line is not big enough and Hogs will control both lines of scrimmages and move the ball well. For second week in a row (and last week) Hogs will enjoy having a physical advantage on line of scrimmage and pull away late.

All of this bullshite comes to an end the following week.

Nope. Texas Tech still gets better athletes than NIU.

I would say NIU is better. Texas Tech is very mediocre

If they threw a forward pass, maybe, if they ran it 70 times in the game, guaranteed.

Better matchup for Arkansas, but lesser personnel. Arkansas wins by 3-13.

That is true but overall I think NIU is the better team. However, I don't know much about niu since lynch is gone. They did beat iowa and purdue last year and finished 12-2.

Pretty sure NIU is better than Texas Tech. Tech's results this season are absolutely horrible.

I think this game is pretty close, and I suspect NIU will score some points.

Now, their defensive personnel holding up against the run for 60 minutes, it's just not possible.
