Western Michigan vs Miami Prediction
This should be a fun matchup between two hot teams in the MAC that are solid defensively. Expect a low scoring defensive game where points are hard to come by. The under would be worth a look. In terms of a side, I’m rolling with Miami, the home team that’s slightly better offensively and can run the ball more efficiently. These are two teams in great form and are a combined 11-3 ATS on the season, so expect a tight one either way. I’ll give the edge to Miami at home.
