The Eastern Michigan Eagles and Central Michigan Chippewas face off on Friday in a MAC college football showdown at kelly/Shorts Stadium. When these two teams faced off in 2020 it was Central Michigan that won 31-23.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles come into this game with a 7-4 record overall and they are coming off a big win in their last game. The offense wasn’t great scoring only 22 points, but the defense was strong giving up only 21 points and that led to the victory. Eastern Michigan is averaging 32.9 points while their defense is giving up 27.5 points per game. They are averaging 5.73 points per game which is 74th best in college football. Under center for the Eagles is Ben Bryant who has thrown for 2700 yards, 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Jawon Hamilton has been the best running back rushing for 614 yards and four touchdowns. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Central Michigan Chippewas who sit with a 7-4 record and they have gone 6-5 against the spread. In the last game against Ball State, they had no issue cruising to a 37-17 victory. Central Michigan is averaging 33.1 points while their defense is giving up 27.7 points per game. Two games ago Central Michigan put up 54 points and they need the offense to be good again in this game. Under center for Central Michigan is Daniel Richadson and he has thrown for 2,294 yards, 21 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Running back Lew Nichols III has also rushed for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns. 

Eastern Michigan is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games played on Friday. The under is 4-0 in Eastern Michigan’s last four games played on Friday. The over is 6-1 in Central Michigan’s last seven games against a team with a winning record. 

These are both offenses that I trust and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. I expect both offenses are going to run up the score, and that is going to lead to this game being a shootout. Back the over to cash. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
