Western Michigan’s offense is nothing to write home about, but the Broncos’ stellar defense will lead them to victory on Tuesday night. Lance Taylor’s squad is eighth in defensive EPA per play and should dominate in the trenches.

The Broncos can control the clock by rushing the football and decimating the putrid Eastern Michigan front seven on the ground. Western Michigan’s offense sits 15th in rushes per game and will test EMU’s defense time and time again.

The Broncos should control this one on both sides of the football, with their defense powering them to victory. Look for WMU’s defensive line (fifth in sack percentage) to tee off and wreck the Eagles’ gameplan.

Give me the Broncos in a low-scoring trench war for my Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan prediction.

Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan Best Bets

• Best bet: Western Michigan -7.5 (-115)

Here’s why I’m backing Western Michigan to cover in my Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan best bets for this Tuesday night rivalry:

• The Broncos’ defense is elite, ranking eighth in defensive EPA per play and allowing just 18.9 points per game. They should shut down an Eastern Michigan offense that struggles against pressure.
• Western Michigan’s rushing attack will exploit EMU’s putrid run defense. The Eagles rank 133rd out of 136 FBS teams in yards per carry allowed (5.6) and rushing yards per game (228.2).
• The Broncos are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games and have everything to play for. A win punches their ticket to the MAC title game.

Western Michigan Betting Trends

The 7-4 Broncos lead the MAC with a 6-1 conference record. Western Michigan can punch its ticket to a MAC title game with a win against Eastern, so there’s way more at stake than the Bronze Stag trophy.

WMU scores just 20 points per game, but their conference-leading defense leads the way. The Broncos’ stellar stop unit allows just 18.9 points per game, sitting eighth in EPA per pass in the nation.

This defense dominates with pressure, ranking fifth in sack percentage and allowing only 152.8 passing yards per game.

Western Michigan are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games but have won just two of their last six matchups against Eastern Michigan.

Eastern Michigan Betting Trends

Eastern Michigan will do its best to turn this in-state scrap into a bar fight. While the Eagles are just 4-12 SU in their last 16, they’re 5-1 ATS in their last six and 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.

Dual-threat quarterback Noah Kim leads an EMU passing attack that’s got some bite. Kim has thrown for 2,490 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while adding six more scores on the ground.

Unfortunately, the Eagles’ defense has failed to keep them in games. EMU’s Achilles heel is their rushing defense, where they’re allowing 5.6 yards per carry and 228.2 yards per game on the ground.

Both of those marks rank 133rd out of 136 FBS teams. Simply put, if Eastern Michigan can’t stop the Broncos’ rushing attack, they’ll be in for a rough outing in this November 25th matchup.

EMU gives up 29.8 points per game and allows a conversion on 43.7% of third downs (103rd).
