Chris Creighton enters his 12th season at Eastern Michigan, making him one of the longest-tenured coaches in the MAC. Stability has been a calling card for the Eagles, and they’ll lean on that again as former Michigan State/Coastal Carolina transfer Noah Kim takes over at quarterback.

Texas State comes off the best two-year stretch in program history, and there’s plenty of motivation with this being their final season in the Sun Belt before transitioning to the Pac-12 in 2026. However, they’ve got major roster turnover to overcome – nearly 20 players left via the transfer portal this offseason, leaving some big shoes to fill.

Eastern Michigan has been a scrappy road underdog under Creighton, and this feels like another spot where they can hang tough. Texas State may still get the win, but asking them to cover a big number with so much roster uncertainty is a tall order.

We like the Eagles to keep this one closer than oddsmakers expect.
