This is an 8* play on Western Michigan.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that EMU is already 0-2 ATS this year against the conference and just 2-6 ATS in its last eight, while WMU is 9-7 ATS in its last 16 after two or more consecutive SU wins and 4-2 ATS in its last six as a favorite in the 3.5 to ten points range.

The bottom line: Home field turns out to be the difference. The numbers point to a convincing blowout for the home side here. Play on WMU.
