Western Michigan will have to be a different team, and will be switching to a more aggressive version playing Brigham Young because of the kind of players that BYU has. Western Michigan has looked impressive, at times, with a 6 game win streak in their season, but then with soured play over the last 4 games, they are apparently limping in. Western Michigan are too disciplined to play the same defense as they have been - Brigham Young will have some trouble.



Brigham Young have seen a nice turnaround this season with their 6-6 record to last years 4-9. The drives of Brigham Young have been frighteningly more bright for Head Coach Kalani Sitake - with a 67-63 plays on offense difference from this year to last season. Brigham Young have played sloppy with their minimal aerial game, and I wont be surprised if they turn the ball over too many times for the team to be able to bounce back from against Western Michigan. All it takes, is that one poor read.

A midseason change in defensive coordinators has boosted the Broncos' D.
Cougars are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 bowl games.

Western Michigan keeps this one within the number. I'm taking the 13 pts here.
