The Chippewas are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

The Western Michigan Broncos are the better team and should be favored, especially at home, but I’m not sure about a double-digit spread. The Central Michigan Chippewas aren’t that bad of a football team and actually are top-30 in total offense and passing offense. Western Michigan has seen its offense fall off a cliff over the last month, and we can’t ignore this being a rivalry game. These meetings are usually competitive. Give me CMU and the points.
