Analysis

Central Michigan looks to fend off Eastern Michigan in the regular season #MACtion finale. This game looks to be Central Michigan’s to lose, but as we know – nothing is certain in the MAC. Eastern Michigan’s chances don’t look good on paper – they lose every matchup, with a very decided disadvantage in the running game. So Central Michigan looks poised to be in control of the game.

Eastern Michigan has proven to be a scrappy team, however, and they do not give up easily. Last week’s late game heroics prove that. So the model likes them to lose, but by only a touchdown, covering the spread.

Eastern Michigan Closest Prior Matchup Score:

22-21

Central Michigan Closest Prior Matchup Score:

21-30

The CPM seems to confirm around a one touchdown victory for Central Michigan, although it’s worth pointing out their offense will likely perform better against a defense that is certainly less talented than LSU.
