The Western Michigan Broncos and the Eastern Michigan Eagles will take the field for their final game held during a weekend, as midweek “Maction” is right around the corner. While this is not one of the marquee games of the weekend, it represents a fun in-state rivalry within the MAC that has been pretty one-sided in recent years.'
If you are interested in watching this game, you can find it on ESPN+ at 1:00 ET Saturday afternoon. Now, let's break down the Western Michigan vs Eastern Michigan Same Game Parlay
Eastern Michigan Eagles 1H +1.5 over Western Michigan (-120)
Eastern Michigan has the better defense in this matchup overall, but the Eagles have been especially good in first halves at home. Against FBS opponents, they allow just 4.3 points per first half, which is top 6 nationally around the likes of Michigan, Utah and Oregon State. Because of their stout defensive performances early in games, the Eagles have yet to go into halftime at home trailing and I expect that trend to continue in this game. For what it's worth, Western Michigan is averaging nearly 10 less points per first half on the road than it is at home.'
