Eastern Michigan at Wisconsin

img12:30 PM Eastern

I had Eastern Michigan's total UNDER last week, and it came in easily, but Michigan State's defense did the heavy lifting, holding the Eagles to just seven points. Wisconsin's defense hasn't done anything close to that. The Badgers have given up 25 points a game through two weeks, including 41 in a road loss to Notre Dame, and Eastern Michigan's own defense has been even more generous at better than 26 a game. Wisconsin should win this one comfortably as a big home favorite, and a defense that's already shown cracks against a quality opponent isn't likely to suddenly shut down a Mid-American opponent that has put points on the board in every game it's played this season. Both sides have struggled for offensive consistency, but both defenses have shown real gaps too, and against a MAC opponent, Wisconsin has no reason to play conservatively once this one is in hand. Go with the OVER.
