Eastern Michigan vs Ohio 11/9/21 College Football Picks and Predictions

The Eastern Michigan Eagles and Ohio Bobcats clash Tuesday in college football week 11 MAC-tion from Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti.

The Ohio Bobcats come into this game looking to build on a 35-33 win over Miami-Ohio last time out. Kurtis Rourke leads the Bobcats with 1,250 passing yards, 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on 69.6% passing while De’Montre Tuggle has a team-high 622 rushing yards and 7 scores. Ty Walton and Cameron Odom each have 300+ receiving yards for the Bobcats while Isiah Cox has 225 receiving yards and Ohio has another three 100+ yard receivers this season. Bryce Houston leads the Eagles with 70 total tackles while Tariq Drake has a pair of interceptions and Bryce Dugan has a pair of sacks this season.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles will be looking to build on their 52-49 win over Toledo in their last game. Ben Bryant has thrown for 2,190 yards, 13 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on 69.3% passing while Jawon Hamilton has a team-high 411 rushing yards with 4 touchdowns and Darius Boone Jr. has 371 receiving yards and 5 scores. Samson Evans also has 151 rushing yards and 9 TDs. Hassan Beydoun leads EMU’s receiving group with 64 grabs for 730 yards and 3 TDs while Dylan Drummond has 530 receiving yards with 5 TDs. Two more Eagles have at least 200 receiving yards and another pair have over 100 receiving yards this season. On defense, Tariq Speights leads EMU with 58 total tackles while Jose Ramirez has 5 sacks and Turan Rush has 3.5 sacks this season.

Eastern Michigan is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 conference games and 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 Tuesday games. Eastern Michigan is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 16-33 ATS in their last 49 games following a win while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games.

I get EMU being favored at home, it’s not a surprise being a six-win team this season against an Ohio team that had just two wins on the year. However, the Bobcats have been battling as of late. In five conference games, Ohio has either won or lost by seven points or less. The Bobcats aren’t going away and I’m leaning Ohio’s way in this one.
