The Eastern Michigan Eagles are way underrated by the the bookmakers and the public here after three consecutive losses.

Note that their last two defeats have come by just three points in OT and they're 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

I like the Eagles to cover the spread at Western Michigan Saturday afternoon as the Broncos are in a completely opposite spot, clearly overrated by the bookmakers and public following three straight wins.

The Broncos have won four straight against EMU, but needed OT to get past the Eagles in Ypsilanti last year. WMU second-year head coach Tim Lester: "They've had one of the hardest schedules in our league and they've battled every team, Lester said. "San Diego (State) is a great team, Northern (Illinois) is a great team, Buffalo's a great team. They are a physical bunch. I think on defense they are really exceptional, so it's going to be unbelievable test for us as the games get tighter and tighter."

EMU defeated Purdue as a 15-point underdog on Sep. 8 and I would not be surprised to see them win this one outright.

10* play on Eastern Michigan Eagles.
