Taking WESTERN MICHIGAN here. So a big, bad Big 10 team is favored by a little nickel over the MAC? Weren't the Wildcats 10-3 last year? Beat Stanford. But, the numbers show me that Northwestern isn't strong as home faves. 6-13 ATS last 20, 13-24 L37 ATS including 0-7 ATS vs MAC teams. The Broncos have a returning QB, a pair of good RBs who each have 1000 yard seasons under the belt, and a solid WR corp. PJ Fleck has done a great job here as WMU is 11-4 ATS last 15 as away dogs under his watch. I have Western Michigan winning the MAC and I think they come out on fire here to grab a little respect knocking off a power conference team. 5* Best Bet WESTERN MICHIGAN
