Tough Schedule for Oakland

Oakland loaded up the schedule tough to start the season and it’s not really shocking how much they have struggled. In the last three games, Oakland has played Boise State, Illinois, and Kansas. Against Kansas, they scored only 57 points while the defense gave up 78 points and that led to the blowout defeat. Oakland shot 43.6 percent from the field but it wasn’t enough because the defense allowed Kansas to shoot 57.1 percent from the field. Oakland on the season is averaging 57.3 points while their defense is giving up 70.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 358th in the league and they are going to need the offense to be better here. Oakland will take on Toledo, Wright State, and Youngstown State after this game.

Eastern Michigan Looks to Bounce Back

Eastern Michigan had won two games in a row, but they fell short in the last game. Eastern Michigan scored only 63 points against Cleveland State, but it wasn’t enough as the defense gave up 71 points. Jalen Terry did have a strong game for the Eagles putting up 25 points, four rebounds, and two assists. There were three different players that put up at least 13 points. Eastern Michigan is averaging 66 points while their defense is giving up 66 points per game. The offense is ranked 328th in the league while the defense is ranked 94th. Jalen Terry is averaging 18.5 points while shooting 50 percent from the field. 

Eastern Michigan vs Oakland Prediction

There are better games on the board to bet on, but If you are betting on this game, you have to take Eastern Michigan. Oakland is averaging only 57.3 points per game and I am just not comfortable with how they have shot the ball. I really don’t trust Eastern Michigan either but they getting too many points here. Back Eastern Michigan against the spread here
