In this article, we will formulate a Washington vs Eastern Michigan prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, September 7th at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this Week 2 matchup.
Washington Huskies Betting Preview
The Washington Huskies are 1-0 this year after they defeated Weber State by a score of 35-3 in their first game. Washington didn’t find any points in the first quarter, but they did take a 14-0 lead into the half. The Huskies scored the first two touchdowns in the second half, which was enough to pull away for the win. Washington outgained Weber State by a total of 482-253 and they went 5-10 on third down in the game. Will Rogers threw for 250 yards and one touchdown, while Jonah Coleman rushed for 127 yards and three scores in the win.
Washington didn’t look great in their opening win against Weber State, but they did play pretty strong defense throughout the game. The Huskies only managed 14 points in the first half, but they did rush for over 200 yards in the game. I expect the passing attack will improve with Rogers at quarterback. Washington will take on Washington State following this clash.
Eastern Michigan Eagles Betting Preview
The Eastern Michigan Eagles are 1-0 this season after they defeated UMass by a score of 28-14 in their first game. Eastern Michigan led 14-0 at halftime, but their lead was cut to 14-7 in the third quarter. The Eagles responded with 14 straight points, which was enough to get the win. Eastern Michigan outgained UMass by a total of 375-329 and went 7-15 on third down in the game. Cole Snyder threw for 241 yards and one touchdown, while Oran Singleton caught eight passes for 89 yards and one score in the victory.
Eastern Michigan played very well in their opening game against UMass, but they will be facing a much bigger challenge in this game. The Eagles were fairly balanced with their passing and running games, and they protected the football, but they will have to really clamp down defensively to stay in this game.
Washington vs Eastern Michigan Prediction
Both of these teams are coming off of wins in week one and one team will move to 2-0 after this matchup. Washington only allowed three points in their victory and I expect their passing attack to improve here. Eastern Michigan was able to handle a below-average UMass team in their first game, but this is going to be another story. I do think the Eagles will generate some scoring drives, but I also think Washington is going to score at will. Take the over in this game, as EMU does just enough to push this one over the total.
