The Umass Minutemen and Eastern Michigan Eagles meet Saturday in week 5 college football action at Alumni Stadium. The Umass Minutemen look to rebound from a 1-3 start. The Eastern Michigan Eagles look to get a game above a .500 record.

The Umass Minutemen haven’t won a road game since October 2018. Gino Campiotti is completing 49 percent of his passes for 165 yards, 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions. Cameron Sullivan-Brown and George Johnson III have combined for 187 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Rico Arnold has 4 receptions. The Umass Minutemen ground game is averaging 185.8 yards per contest, and Campiotti leads the way with 242 yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Umass is allowing 32 points and 356.5 yards per game. Jalen Mackie leads the Umass Minutemen with 27 tackles, Marcus Bradley has 1.5 sacks and Jordan Mahoney has 2 interceptions.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have won 5 of their last 8 home games. Taylor Powell is completing 66 percent of his passes for 681 yards, 4 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Tanner Knue and Hassan Beydoun have combined for 437 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, while Darius Lassiter has 13 receptions. The Eastern Michigan Eagles ground game is averaging 154.8 yards per contest, and Samson Evans leads the way with 418 yards and 3 touchdowns. Defensively, Eastern Michigan is allowing 38.5 points and 449 yards per game. Chase Kline leads the Eastern Michigan Eagles with 35 tackles, Jordan Crawford has 1 sack and Blake Bogan has 1 interception.

The Minutemen are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 road games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Eagles are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Minutemen last 7 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Eagles last 5 games overall.

The Umass Minutemen are in the running for one of the worst teams in the country, and they've done nothing against the number dating back to last season. The Eastern Michigan Eagles easily play their best ball at home, and they've shown head and shoulders more signs of life on the offensive side. While you may not think highly of Eastern Michigan, oddsmakers are telling you just how bad UMass is with this line. I have no choice but to lay the three touchdowns.
