Bowling Green vs Western Michigan Prediction
The Bowling Green Falcons are getting crushed defensively as of late, allowing 71 or more points in six of their last eight games. That’s not going to fly on the road, and it’s not a surprise Bowling Green has yet to win a road game. The Western Michigan Broncos play their best ball at home, where two of their three wins have come this season. And despite the struggles overall, if Western Michigan was going to win another game and potentially save its season, it would be this one. Heck, if anything, oddsmakers are telling you what they think of Bowling Green, making the Falcons an underdog against a team that has just two wins. Give me Western Michigan and the small number.
