Eastern Michigan is entering this game with a 7-4 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 6th home game of the season as they are 2-3 in their home games this year.

The current betting odds have Eastern Michigan listed as a 2 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. EMU just pulled off a big upset in their game last week beating Kent State outright as a 7.5 point underdog. Central Michigan just lost a big game at home last week to their rival school Western Michigan and not only did they lose that game outright at home as a 10.5 point favorite, but that loss also killed any chances they had of getting to a bowl game since they now have 7 losses coming into this one. CMU has nothing left to play here and even though Eastern Michigan doesn't have anything to play for either since they can't get to the MAC Championship now, they still have the advantage in this game being at home and they have already qualified for a bowl game as well. CMU really has nothing left to play for this season and they will be extremely demotivated in this road game while EMU will be playing for pride here at home and looking to cap off a great season with 7 wins already and finish off with another win at home here. The best way to place a bet here is on Eastern Michigan to cover the spread in this game.
