Eastern Michigan vs Central Michigan Prediction

Central Michigan made light work of Eastern Michigan in the first meeting, winning by 19 points while shooting 47 percent from the field. Central Michigan has won each of the last three games against Eastern Michigan. However, I’m leaning toward the points. Eastern Michigan has seen eight of its 14 wins come at home, and it’s senior night with a roster that has a handful of seniors. We also can’t ignore that this is a rivalry game, and the home team has won six of the last nine meetings. National TV as well. If there was a game for Eastern Michigan to show up, this would be it. I’ll grab the bucket with Eastern Michigan at home on senior night.
