Result: Win
8* EMU (PUNISHER)

Am I suggesting that the 8-12 EMU Eagles are going to go into Ohio and knock off the 17-3 Bobcats straight up? I'm of course not calling for that at all. I do though think the stage is set for a much closer battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe. EMU enters off an 86-66 blowout loss to Toledo, while Ohio comes in off an 87-63 victory over Ball State. The Eagles average only 71.6 PPG, while allowing 74.8. Ohio doesn't blow teams out of the water with an offense that averages 74.6 points per game, but the Bobcats make up for it on the other end by conceding just 66. I say the mighty home side comes out a bit complacent here and takes the foot off the gas in the 2nd half. Eastern Michigan is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 as a conference road dog in the +15.5 to +17.5 points range as well. No outright, but closer than expected!
