Eastern Michigan @ Akron
Spread
Eastern Michigan -17 @ -110
There’s little reason to have optimism about the Zips in this contest. When you’re 0-9 and sit dead last in the FBS in both rushing and scoring offense, those are reasons for concern. Factor in that the team has scored seven points or less in six of their last nine games and you have to be even less inclined to take the hosts. Akron hasn’t scored a touchdown in their last four games, getting outscored 131-9 in that stretch. Eastern Michigan hasn’t been all that great but they can score some points and it works in their favor here. The Eagles get back to .500 on the season as they put the boots to the Zips, dropping Akron to 0-10. What could mess up this spread of -17 is that a severe snow storm could move in at game time.

Take the Broncos getting the points. I love the Broncos here. I'm surprised they are not favored. I like them to win this outright so take them getting the points. When you look at common opponents, Western Michigan beat up on Ball State while Ohio lost to them. Also, Western Michigan has an elite running game and Ohio is not very good against the run so I don't see how they are going to slow the Broncos down. It will undoubtedly be a close game because Ohio is home, they are also a good running team, but when its all said and done, I like the better team -- Western Michigan - to pull it out. A win would put them in first place in their division and that's great incentive.
