NCAAF - Mertz is still adjusting after missing valuable time last season due to covid. The Badgers QB started with a flash but in his final 4 regular season games he threw 5 picks against just 1 touchdown. So how did he start this season? 2 interceptions against 0 touchdowns last week. His TD-INT ratio is now 1-7 in his last 5 regular season games. Yes Eastern Michigan is no Penn State on defense but the Badgers will be content to just grind out a win with their ground game here and not risk further shaking the confidence of Mertz heading into big games with Notre Dame and Michigan coming up on the docket. Upset alert? No way but the Eagles do return nearly all their starters from last year and, per the simulation report, stay within a 2 to 3 TD margin in this one. Play EASTERN MICHIGAN
