Rivalry games are always fun, and this one is no exception. That bodes poorly for the Broncos should they fall behind, especially against an Eastern Michigan unit that has scored on every red zone trip this year. Its pass defense isn’t very good either, giving up the 73rd most yards despite facing the 14th-fewest attempts per game. It ranks 104th in yards per carry, and ranks in the 100s in nearly every passing category. Western Michigan isn’t really great at anything on the offensive side of the ball. The week before, they were blown out by San Jose State after allowing 128 yards rushing on 23 carries. Their average of 5.3 yards against per run was actually lowered last week in their win over FCS New Hampshire, in which they allowed just 44 yards on 39 carries.

Only 13 teams have allowed more yards per carry this season than the Broncos of Western Michigan. They did so without starting quarterback Taylor Powell, who missed the game with an injury. They did so on the back of a rushing attack that gained 217 yards on 43 carries, moving them to 4.9 yards per carry this season, which is good for 29th in the country. The Eagles are feeling good after rallying from a 13-0 deficit to beat UMass with 20 unanswered points. We start our upset picks with a little MACtion on Saturday.
