Northern Illinois vs Bowling Green AI Prediction:
Free CFB Betting Insights for 10/12/24

The Northern Illinois Huskies will travel to face the Bowling Green Falcons in a pivotal Mid-American Conference (MAC) clash. Both teams have shown flashes of potential this season but have also struggled with consistency, making this game crucial for their respective seasons. Northern Illinois enters the game with a 3-2 record and is looking to build on their recent 34-20 win over UMass, where their ground game dominated. Running backs Gavin Williams and Jaylen Poe combined for over 200 yards and three touchdowns, showing the Huskies’ ability to control the clock and wear down defenses. Bowling Green, on the other hand, comes in at 2-3 after a narrow 27-20 victory over Akron.

Quarterback Connor Bazelak has been effective, throwing for 268 yards in their last outing, but the Falcons’ offense has struggled to maintain consistency in the red zone. The running game, led by Jaison Patterson, has been a bright spot, but the Falcons need a more balanced attack to keep Northern Illinois off balance. The key for Northern Illinois will be to establish the run early and keep the game close, as they’ve struggled when forced to rely heavily on their passing attack. If their defense, which has been solid against the run, can contain Bowling Green’s rushing attack, the Huskies have a chance to pull off the upset. For Bowling Green, protecting Bazelak and limiting turnovers will be essential. If the Falcons can avoid mistakes and control the tempo, they should be able to take advantage of Northern Illinois’ weaknesses.

Huskies AI Preview

The Northern Illinois Huskies enter this matchup at 3-2, coming off a gritty win against UMass. The Huskies’ offense has been powered by their rushing attack, which has been one of the best in the MAC. Running backs Gavin Williams and Jaylen Poe have led the way, and quarterback Ethan Hampton has been used sparingly, with the team preferring to grind out games on the ground. Hampton’s inconsistent passing game has been a concern, as he managed just 34 passing yards against UMass. For Northern Illinois to succeed, they will need to establish the run early and control the clock. Defensively, the Huskies have been solid, allowing just 21.6 points per game. Their front seven has been effective at stopping the run, but their secondary has been vulnerable against accurate quarterbacks. Against Bowling Green’s Connor Bazelak, the Huskies’ defense will need to tighten up and avoid giving up big plays. If they can force Bowling Green into third-and-long situations, it will play to the strengths of their defensive scheme. Overall, Northern Illinois needs to execute their game plan perfectly to pull off a road victory. If they can limit turnovers and control the tempo, they have the potential to keep the game close and possibly steal a win on the road.

The Northern Illinois Huskies (3-2) will face the Bowling Green Falcons (2-3) on October 12, 2024, at Doyt L. Perry Stadium. Bowling Green is a slight favorite with a 3-point spread, and the game is expected to be closely contested, featuring two teams that have shown both strengths and weaknesses this season.

Falcons AI Preview

The Bowling Green Falcons are looking to get back on track and solidify their standing in the MAC with a win over Northern Illinois. The Falcons started the season strong with a win over Fordham but have struggled against tougher competition. Quarterback Connor Bazelak has been a steady presence under center, throwing for over 1,100 yards this season, but the team has yet to find consistency on offense. The Falcons have averaged just 23.4 points per game and need to be more efficient in the red zone to close out games. Defensively, Bowling Green has been decent, allowing 26.8 points per game. Their secondary has shown vulnerability against strong passing teams, but they’ve been able to generate turnovers in key moments. Against Northern Illinois, the focus will be on shutting down the run game and forcing the Huskies into obvious passing situations, where their defensive line can create pressure. If Bowling Green’s defense can hold up and the offense capitalizes on its opportunities, the Falcons should have a good chance to win at home.
