No program has struggled as much as Eastern Michigan over the last 25 years. They are 76-203 straight-up over that time frame, and have had just one winning season, finishing at 6-5 in 1995. They are 27-126 on the road, 1-18 in their last 19, losing by an average of 26.5 points per game. They rank #124 on offense out of 128 FBS teams. Things have been even worse for UMass who is 3-45 in their last 48 games, but this team is much further ahead of Eastern Michigan. UMass is just 1-6, but they have played Boston College, Vanderbilt, Colorado, and Penn State, but lost two of those games by just 3 points. They also lost on the road by a single point to Miami, Ohio and by 5 to Bowling Green. The UMass offense has scored 40 points in each of the last three games, and as bad as the EMU offense is, the defense is even worse as they allow over 40 ppg. Eastern Michigan is in a horrible situation, one that is 14-52 ATS, and I don't think this game will be close at all. Take UMass.
