Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan

Premium Pick

This is a high total for this MAC game, plus terrible weather conditions with 25-35 MPH winds. Eastern Michigan has started 0-4 in MAC play for the third time in four years. They don't pass the football well but like to run it behind Darius Jackson (799 yards, 5.5 yards per carry) and Shaq Vann (476 yards, 6.3 ypc). They will just try to run all night long in these windy conditions to try and control the ball and the clock. Their QBs have throw 11 TDs and 11 picks and the offense has scored just 21, 20, 22 and 21 points the last four games. Western Michigan is unbeaten in MAC play and can focus on stopping the run, holding its last two opponents to 14 and 13 points. They come off a 35-13 win over Miami allowing 276 total yards, just 58 rushing, a mere 2.1 ypc. The UNDER is 7-3 in the Broncos last 10 games after allowing less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. The Broncos are capable of a 3+ touchdown blow-out here and I think this line is short. Dating back to the start of the 2012 season, the Eagles are 10-21 ATS including 5-14 ATS in-conference. Take the favorite and the UNDER.
