Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Western Michigan Broncos. Game 114. 9:00 AM PST/12:00 PM EST. Maybe this game isn't being played in Kalamazoo, but it is being played in Detroit, Michigan and you will see a ton of Broncos fans in the stands. Having said that, this is the third straight MAC title game for the Redhawks, winning the previous two. But they do lose a little luster when they travel going 3-3 on the road this season. While they have won and covered their last two outings, they did struggle a little bit in they're two previous contests, losing and failing to cover both. Meanwhile, Western Michigan enters this matchup red-hot, winning four in a row straight up, and covering their last three games. As a matter of fact, they have played some darn good football. I am well aware Miami took down Western Michigan in the only meeting this season, back at the end of October at home, 26-17. That was their second consecutive win and cover going back several seasons. Prior to that Western Michigan dominated this rivalry, winning eight consecutive meetings straight up, and going 5-3 ATS during that span. Neither offense is known for their passing games. Without question both offenses rely upon their ground games. But also, without question, the Broncos are stronger at running the football. Coincidentally enough, they're both pretty darn good at stopping in rush, as Western Michigan is certainly stronger against the pass. They also possess a defense that ranks 13th nationally, yielding just 18.7 PPG. Speaking of offense, the dual-threat senior quarterback for the Redhawks, is no longer here. And they have a younger, less-seasoned, quarterback at the helm. I just don't see him having too much success here. As a matter of fact, this is a big step up in class from what he's seen recently. Just FYI, Dequan Finn was the experienced leader under center when Miami took down Western Michigan. Now the reins have been passed to Thomas Gotkowski really just has one start under his belt. You can't compare that to quarterback Broc Lowry, who possesses a 63.5% completion rate, 1572 yards passing, and a 7/2 ratio this season. He will be the difference on offense, while the Broncos defense take care of the rest. Take Western Michigan. Thank you.
