2018 MAC Football Game Preview: Northern Illinois Huskies at Akron Zips

The Northern Illinois Huskies will head out east to take on the Akron Zips, as both teams will play on just five days rest. Akron and NIU are both coming off wins, with the Zips edging out CMU and NIU upsetting BYU last weekend.

These two teams don’t meet up often, with this being just the 15th meeting all-time and the first since 2013. The Huskies hold a 9-5 lead in the series and have won the last four contests.
