Eastern Michigan (3-5, 2-5 MAC) hosts in-state rival Central Michigan (3-4, 2-3 MAC) on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Ford Field in Detroit. The Eagles enter as 1.5-point favorites with an over/under of 44.5 points. Central Michigan will start backup quarterback Jadyn Glasser after starter Angel Flores suffered an injury, while Eastern Michigan's Noah Kim missed the previous game and his status remains uncertain.
Betting Odds
The money line lists Central Michigan at -108 and Eastern Michigan at -105. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each FBS game 10,000 times, projects the total to exceed 44.5 points, with a 63% hit rate and an expected combined score of 50 points. Central Michigan's last game went over the total, and three of their last five games have also gone over. Glasser is projected to throw for under 185 yards and fewer than two touchdowns. Both defenses have been prone to allowing points this season, supporting the over selection.
Model Performance
The model entered Week 10 on an 80-77 run on top-rated college football picks. It also indicates one side of the spread hits more than 50% of the time, though that specific pick is available only through SportsLine.
