These teams are meeting for the first time this season and they split last year's two games with Western Michigan winning 90-84 as a 9-point underdog in the rematch. The Broncos are getting almost double those points in this game and Akron is 1-5 ATS its past six games as a favorite of 13 points or more and 0-4 UNDER its past four with those odds. Western Michigan has stayed UNDER five of six and it is 4-0 UNDER following an ATS loss. The Broncos actually have outright wins in four of their past eight games. The last two times the Zips were favored by double digits they didn't cover against Northern Illinois and Ball State. Grab the huge points with Western Michigan and the UNDER.
