Western Michigan Facing Must-Win Situation
The Western Michigan Broncos are 4-2 in the MAC this season, putting them a game behind the top trio of Ohio, Miami (OH), and Bowling Green in the conference standings. As a result, the Broncos must win on Tuesday night to keep their hopes of finishing in the top-two in the conference alive. The Broncos have dropped two straight games at the worst possible time, falling by double-digits to Bowling Green and Northern Illinois. After allowing 36.5 points per game over their last two games, the defense of Western Michigan will be what determines if they can get a key conference win or not.
Central Michigan Hoping to Play Spoiler
Central Michigan has seven losses this season and are out of both bowl contention and MAC championship contention. But they still have the opportunity to play spoiler for their in-state rivals this week by beating Western Michigan. The Chippewas have lost five games in a row and will look to snap that streak to wreck the conference title hopes of Western Michigan. But the Chips have allowed over 35 points in three of their last four games, which won’t cut it in this game.
Western Michigan vs Central Michigan Prediction
The over is our best bet in this Western Michigan vs Central Michigan contest in college football. Both of these defenses have been struggling mightily going into this game.
