Eastern Michigan vs Miami (OH) Prediction

I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with Miami (OH), but this has more to do with how bad Eastern Michigan is this season. Eastern Michigan doesn’t finish drives offensively and is 130th in total defense and 123rd in scoring defense. Eastern Michigan is easily one of the worst teams in all of college football. Miami (OH) is riding a 3-game winning streak and has covered 6 of its last 9 games as a double-digit favorite. Miami (OH) isn’t good offensively but is well above average defensively, and that’s probably the difference here. Not sure how Eastern Michigan finds success moving the ball. Give me Miami (OH) in a comfortable home win.
