Over is 7-1 in the Broncos last 8 Tuesday games and 4-1 in the Broncos last 5 games overall. Over is 5-1-2 in the Eagles last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 4-1 in the Eagles last 5 Tuesday games.
I’m not in love with his game pick, however, I’m liking the Over in this game. Western Michigan should have no problems putting up plenty of points through their rushing attack as Eastern Michigan has really struggled against the run, coming into this game ranked just 108th in rush defense. Western Michigan is a solid offensive team, however, the defense has really struggled as of late, allowing opponents to average 36.8 ppg over their last 4 games which included allowing an Akron offense which was average just more than 20 ppg to put 40 up against them.
I think this is going to be a classic mid-week MAC shootout and my play in this one is to take the Over. Good Luck!
