Western Michigan Looks to Build On First Win

The start of this season for the Western Michigan Broncos has been a tough one. They lost to two straight Big Ten teams to open their season, as they were beaten by Wisconsin and Ohio State. But after a win against FCS Bethune Cookman last week, Western Michigan is set to face its first FBS opponent that is not from an elite conference in this Western Michigan vs Marshall matchup. It will be interesting to see if the Broncos can get their offense going against an FBS foe for the first time this season with that in mind.

Marshall Happy to Not Face Power Conference Opponent

Marshall's season has looked eerily similar to that of Western Michigan so far, as they are 1-2 with one win over an FCS school and two losses to power conference opponents. The Thundering Herd did open the scoring against Ohio State with a touchdown last week, but they were outscored 49-7 from that point on. This week, Marshall will hope that facing a more beatable opponent will mean a better result for them, as they look to even their record at 2-2 before they begin Sun Belt play at home against App State next weekend.

Western Michigan vs Marshall Best Bet

While both teams in this Western Michigan vs Marshall matchup have played three games, we have yet to see either team play against relatively equal competition to this point in the season. This will be the first chance for us to do so and we should learn about both teams in the process. As far as our best bet for this game, we will take the under, as both teams should be more effective defensively now that they are not playing some of the best teams in college football.
