Central Michigan is coming into this game with a 5-4 record overall after beating NIU in their last game. They won at home 37-31 against a surging NIU team but they have also been finding more success at home this season. They have won their last 3 straight games at home while they have actually lost their last 2 straight on the road and are on the road in this game against a rival school. They are going up against a Western Michigan team that has not been as good this season as they are 3-6 overall but they definitely got up for their road win against Eastern Michigan last week, beating them 45-21 on the road, and that was right after a very close loss against Ohio as well. Now they are going to have some confidence coming off of that win and they are going to get up for this game against Central Michigan at home after playing their last 2 games on the road. Western Michigan has also dominated the recent series history as they have won 4 of the last 5 as well as 7 of the last 9 meetings between these two, but they have actually lost the last 3 meetings at home and they are going to be hungry to snap that home losing streak against CMU. Western Michigan has a good running game and they are going to have no problems running against this CMU defense which will open up their passing game as well. Western Michigan is going to cover the spread in this game.
