Western Michigan is now a perfect 11-0 on the season following a 38-0 win over Buffalo last week. WMU is now 7-0 in the MAC, and 8-3 against the spread. They are just 3-3 against the spread in their last six games, though. Western still has to win this game to advance to the MAC Championship. Western has a great offense and a great defense. The Broncos are giving up just 17.7 points and 352.9 yards per game this season. They are especially tough against the pass, allowing only 198.2 yards per game through the air. Offensively, WMU is averaging 43.8 points and 508.9 yards per game.

This is a big moment for Western Michigan. The Broncos are facing the next-best team in the MAC in Toledo, with everything at stake. I don’t see why Western Michigan won’t be ready, but this pressure could play a factor. Still, I like the WMU defense to really carry them in this one. While the offense should be able to score, the Western defense faces the tougher challenge, but will still find ways to make stops and give WMU a cover.
