Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Eastern Michigan Eagles Prediction

I’m on Eastern Michigan in this one. I normally prefer to back Eastern Michigan as a dog, but I’d need a few more points to fade the Eagles in a spot like this. Central Michigan’s had their own set of issues this season and I just think on a neutral field, I favor EMU’s coaching and QB situation more here so give me Eastern Michigan.
