Charlotte 49ers at Eastern Michigan Eagles Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Eagles were a subject of discussion for many in 2016, as they had returned to a bowl game for the first time in over 20 years after establishing itself as one of the premiere cupcakes in college football in years prior. The Eagles put up a gallant effort but came up short against Old Dominion in the Bahamas Bowl where they fell 24-20. In the aforementioned collision, EMU should have won the game by statistical virtue but ODU simply made the plays it needed to get the win. Nevertheless, the Eagles show a lot of promise under the captainship of coach Chris Creighton and they are now regarded as a dark horse for the MAC title in 2017. Against this same Charlotte team last year, EMU had its way in a 37-19 victory as just a 1.5-point favorite and perhaps that narrative is driving the build-up of this affair. For the 49ers, they are still looking to find their way to their first winning season in their time as a FBS outfit as they have won just six games since their promotion in 2015. The 49ers looked to potentially achieve such a feat in 2016 until they skidded out in the last three games of their season to miss the opportunity to gain bowl eligibility and a.500 record.

Charlotte 49ers at Eastern Michigan Eagles Prediction
In the early going we have seen a huge amount of money come in on the Eagles as 99% of the consensus are keen to swallow the points with the Eagles. As a result, we have seen this line move by 2.5 points from its open, affording two touchdowns to anyone interested in taking the 49ers. While there may seem to be little appeal in taking the 49ers, an overreaction is very much likely taking shape. Despite the tumult, the 49ers have made considerable strides since joining the FBS in 2015. In their inaugural season at this level they failed to win one conference game and acquired just two victories overall. In 2016, the 49ers went nearly .500 in the C-USA. As a result of Eastern Michigan being one of the big headlines in terms of renaissance seasons in 2016, it is likely some of that pandemonium has followed them into this contest. As a result, we have an opportunity to take advantage of a likely overlay. Take the points.
