Wednesday Night:
Northern Illinois -7.0 (3.0 Units)
Western Michigan TT Over 34.5 (1.4 Units)
Western Michigan +3.0 (3.0 Units)
I'm going to be opposite a ton of people that I respect on this board tonight but I really feel like Western Michigan is going to win this game. Lots of respect for Matt Johnson and that Falcon offense. And of course I think they will be able to move the ball against WMU...as they have moved the ball against everyone this year. However, I think WMU slows this game down a little bit with their run game. Franklin and Bogan are averaging 5+ yards per carry on the year. Zach Terrell may not have the same TD/INT ratio as Johnson but he is a gamer. And similar to the effect that Northern Illinois has on Toledo......WMU has simply owned the Falcons over the years including holding the Falcons to under 300 yards of total offense last year.
HFA, National TV, underdog role and the history of beating the Falcons is enough to convince me that WMU is the play this evening. Prediction: WMU 41 Bowling Green 34
