Northern Illinois
Moneyline Pick: Bowling Green (-190) - A-

Bowling Green enters this matchup looking to build momentum after a recent uptick in performance. With a record of 2-7-7-14, the Falcons are eager to capitalize on their offensive improvements showcased in their latest games. Their backcourt duo has been particularly effective, pushing the pace and creating scoring opportunities.

Conversely, Northern Illinois has been struggling this season, holding a 1-8-5-16 record. The Huskies are currently on a losing streak, and injuries have taken a toll on their roster depth. Notably, their starting guard is sidelined with a leg injury, which weakens their inside presence both offensively and defensively.

Historically, Bowling Green has had success against Northern Illinois, winning the last two encounters. With the Falcons' offense gaining traction and the Huskies grappling with injuries and form, Bowling Green appears poised to secure the win.

Over/Under Pick: Over 144.5 Points (-110) - B+
The Bowling Green Falcons are eager to reverse their fortunes as they face off against the Northern Illinois Huskies. Both teams are currently mired in losing streaks, with the Falcons struggling to halt a series of defeats that have exposed their defensive shortcomings. Their recent games have seen opponents exploit gaps in their defense, leading to higher scoring affairs. Northern Illinois shares a similar narrative, with their defense allowing an uptick in points during their losing skid. The Huskies' attempts to outpace their opponents offensively have often resulted in fast-paced games with elevated scores. If any of their starting five are dealing with injuries or not at full strength, this could further diminish their defensive capabilities. Historically, matchups between the Falcons and Huskies have been competitive and offensively charged. Key players on both sides tend to step up in these encounters, delivering standout performances that contribute significantly to the total score. With both teams desperate for a win, expect an aggressive offensive approach that prioritizes scoring over tight defense. Considering the current trends, defensive vulnerabilities, and the history of high-scoring games between these two, taking the over on the total points line is a promising option.
