NCAAF – FREE PLAY: Bowling Green (153) vs. Eastern Michigan (154)

The Falcons sit at just 3-6, but their victories have been anything but ordinary. They opened the season with a home win over Lafayette in head coach Eddie George’s debut, pulled off a homecoming upset of Liberty, and stunned archrival Toledo as a huge underdog after trailing 21-0. While Bowling Green is still searching for its first road win, this sets up as a bounce-back spot after a rough three-week stretch. With their postseason hopes on the line, I expect a strong response. BGSU has also made a change at OC.

Bowling Green has leaned heavily on the ground game, running the ball on more than 55% of its offensive snaps. That could spell trouble for an Eastern Michigan defense that ranks last in the MAC, giving up 6.5 yards per carry. Look for the Falcons to exploit that weakness and grind out a road win as an underdog.
