Western Michigan is coming into this game with a 5-4 record this season and they are 4-1 in the conference. They are coming off of a 42-28 loss at home against Northern Illinois in their last game, but prior to that they won 4 straight games in the conference and will be hungry to bounce back here as they are still in a tie for 1st place in the MAC with 3 other teams. Their offense has been very consistent in these games as well, scoring 28+ points in their last 5 straight as well as scoring 40+ points in 3 of their last 5 games. They are going up against a Bowling Green team that is also 5-4 this season and is also 4-1 in the conference. They have been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 3 straight games. They have had a great defense in their recent games as well, but their pass defense has been much better than their run defense as they have been struggling to stop the run all season. They are averaging 168.2 rushing yards allowed per game as well as 4.7 yards per carry and that is going to be a big problem against this Western Michigan offense that is averaging 209.2 rushing yards per game and 5.6 yards per carry. Western Michigan is a run heavy team, but they have also been very efficient on the ground and they are going to be able to move the ball well against this defense. Their passing game has not been great this season, but their strength in the run game will open things up for them here and they will be able to stick around in this game. Western Michigan is not just going to roll over after that loss last week either since they are still in the running for the MAC Championship and this is a game they need to win to get there so they will get up for this game. Western Michigan will cover the spread in this game.
