Lindenwood vs Eastern Michigan Prediction
Eastern Michigan hasn’t had a chance to settle in as it had that disappointing showing against San Jose State and then was marched to death with back-to-back road games against Michigan State and Wisconsin. This is a better team than its looked and finally gets a chance to show it. Anything but a blowout against Lindenwood would be eyebrow-raising. I know it’s weird seeing a big number by Eastern Michigan’s name. I’ll lay it out anyway.
Randy Chambers's Pick: Eastern Michigan -25.5
