Central Michigan vs Eastern Michigan Prediction

I’ll lean toward Eastern Michigan but you could probably call it either way. The Eagles had a good Ohio team on the ropes late in their most recent road loss but couldn’t close the game out. Eastern Michigan had 307 total yards and 18 first downs in that one but also went just 2-of-15 on third downs. Defensively the Eagles were good on third downs (3-of-11) and ha a couple of fumble recoveries. Eastern Michigan has been pretty tepid on the scoreboard in the last couple of games with just 34 combined points.

As for Central Michigan, they posted just 16 first downs and went 6-of-14 on third downs in their loss to Miami-OH. The 10 penalties for 83 yards didn’t help either. The Chippewas have given up 21 or more points in three straight games (all losses) so EMU should have some room to score if they can get it going.
