The Western Michigan Broncos like their position in MAC standings at 4-2, only having lost on to conference opponents this year. The Broncos are averaging 243 passing yards, 159.3 rushing yards, and 25.5 points per game. While on the defensive the Broncos are allowing 132.6 passing yards, 52 rushing and 16 points per game.

I think home field advantage will play a role in this game. I think the defense of the Broncos that only allows 52 rushing yards, and 16 points per game on their home turf will make it difficult for the Golden Flashes to put points on the board or at the very leat make a few stops and give their offense enough room to build a lead and cover the spread. Final Score Prediction, Western Michigan Broncos win and cover ATS 32-20.
