Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan: 3/1/22 College Basketball Picks and Predictions

On the other side of this matchup is the Eastern Michigan Eagles who sit with a 10-19 record overall and they have gone 12-16 against the spread. In the last game against Ball State, the offense could only manage 64 points and that led to the 11 point defeat. The Eagles are averaging 69.7 points while their defense is giving up 76.2 points per game. Noah Farrakhan has been the top player for Eastern Michigan averaging 16.9 points while shooting 42.2 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from behind the three point line. I would expect Eastern Michigan to try to push the pace in this game. 

Western Michigan is 4-0 against the spread in their last four road games. Eastern Michigan is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games. The under is 5-1 in Eastern Michigan’s last six games overall. The over is 4-1 in Eastern Michigan’s last five games played on Tuesday. 

These are both defenses that have had issues this season, and there will be plenty of offense by both teams. Look for Western Michigan to be the team to push the pace, and this game is going to go over the total. Back the over.
