Eastern Michigan Eagles at Western Michigan Broncos Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Eastern Michigan rolls on to 5-2 after they defeated Ohio on the road last week, once again raising the roof of how high this team can ascend this season after winning just one game in 2015. The Eagles are looking at the prospect of going to a bowl game, which this program has not done in nearly 30 years. Western Michigan continues to cruise and do so with emphasis. The Broncos have won their last nine fixtures overall and enter at an unblemished 7-0 this season. The Broncos shut the door on Akron last week, when they routed the Zips on the road by a score of 41-0.

Eastern Michigan Eagles at Western Michigan Broncos Prediction
Prior to the Broncos current two-game win streak in this rivalry, the Eagles owned a three-game win streak of their own. This rivalry series has been a very competitive one, even if EMU was not relevant. Mirroring what can transpire here, the Eagles were the pooch in all three of those match-ups. Given the fact the Eagles are known as one of college football’s pushovers, the Eagles were undervalued as they have been all season long standing at 6-1 ATS. Western Michigan given their lofty accolades is due for a let-down. Eastern Michigan is not the same Eagles we are accustomed to. This outfit is far improved and much better than the reputation dictates. Now they have an opportunity to achieve another benchmark, eliminating their hated foe and earning bowl eligibility. The Eagles will be fired up heading in to this game and even if they lose, there are far too many points on the table to pass up. EMU with the points and the Over is our call in this one.
