The Northern Illinois Huskies will travel to The Factory in Ypsilanti to face the Eastern Michigan Eagles for a key game for both squads. It’s an odd place for both teams to be in; EMU at 6-4 is looking to solidify their bowl-eligible record with more wins while NIU at 3-7 has to win out to hope a bowl opens up for them via APR.
Normally, the situation would reversed with the Huskies being a little better coming into this game, but 2016 hasn’t been a normal year, has it?
If you count only the MAC records, these teams are equal.
