Western Michigan at Central Michigan

Western Michigan beat Kent State 38-7 at home last Saturday on 466 yards, its second win in a row. It allows 17.3 points per game, tied for 25th among the 138 FBS teams, scores 25.7, tied for 90th, and has taken the ball away six times. Its two losses were 13-12 at Michigan and 32-7 to Boise State, and its other wins were 49-14 over Monmouth, 28-21 at Rice and 20-17 at Buffalo. Central Michigan is 3-3, scoring 17 points per game (tied for 127th) and allowing 26.3 (tied for 95th). It has scored 14 or fewer in four of its six games, including 14 at Ohio last Saturday on 275 yards. Its best game was a 41-17 win over Akron on October 3, and it also beat Wyoming 24-10 and Colgate 13-10. It has lost the ball 10 times and has been outgained by 128, 215 and 414 yards in three games. Western Michigan has lost the ball in only two of six games. I'm laying the points Saturday afternoon.
