Eastern Michigan at Western Michigan

A natural conference rivalry of in-state teams has Eastern Michigan making the short trek to tip-off with Western Michigan. The Broncos feasted early on some soft touches and got out to a 6-1 start on the season. But they have had a lot more trouble since as the competition has become similar, and have struggled to a 4-6 mark over their last 10 games. Eastern Michigan has really shown some signs of growing lately as they have won their last two games after knocking on the door in their previous two, as both resulted in hard fought 2-point setbacks. This is a team starting to gel, and have fared well in conference play at 13-6 ATS in their last 19, and look like a live dog here. Take Eastern Michigan.
