Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan are rivals and both really need the win to try and secure a bowl game. The Eagles have had a resurgence this season while the Chippewas have been struggling toward the end of the season. With this game being in Ypsilanti, I like the Eagles to find a way to win. Central’s offense just hasn’t been consistent enough.
