Bowling Green at Western Michigan picks and predictions
Prediction
Bowling Green 24, Western Michigan 21
Moneyline
Bowling Green (-120) is not great offensively but has cut out a few deficits in recent weeks. However, there is no profit in this figure. PASS.
Against the spread
Peg this one being on a collision course for a 1-to-6 point deficit at the end. No underlying value points stand out. PASS.
Over/Under
The Under is 8-2 for each side coming in and 4-1 across the last 5 meetings in this series, which includes a 13-9 BGSU win Nov. 2, 2022.
The Falcons like to run the ball, and the Broncos’ run defense at home has been solid (101.0 yards per game). Bowling Green’s defense is solid all around.
The forecast is for a temperature around 40 degrees and a 14 mile-per-hour breeze.
BACK THE UNDER 53.5 (-115).
