Western Michigan at Eastern Michigan

This is a natural in-state rivalry as Western Michigan, and their 9-5 record, heads to eastern Michigan and their 9-6 record. It has been quite some time since Eastern Michigan has had a pretty solid team. They have handled their entire slate of games except for one against a previously ranked UMass team. When you consider losses to Duke, Purdue, Syracuse, and Kentucky, thrown in with the UMass loss, they have a much better team than their record indicates. Western Michigan is a 1-point overtime win from being winless on the road this season, and Shane Whittington has not played at the same level since missing a pair of recent games. Eastern Michigan is a tough out at home, and although they may be challenged, they come away with another home win. Play Eastern Michigan on the moneyline.
