Why Western Michigan Will Win

So what’s going right?

It’s been a lost season with a losing record ensured, but the defense hasn’t been bad – it’s fantastic on third downs – it’s able to keep the team in games, and it’s not getting blown out lately.

The offense might have fallen off the map, but the defense took the ball away three times against both Bowling Green and Northern Illinois and 14 times over the last six games.

Central Michigan has had a monster turnover issue before keeping the mistakes to just the one in last week’s win over Buffalo.

Why Central Michigan Will Win

Yeah, the Western Michigan offense – it hasn’t stopped, but it can’t stop making massive mistakes in key moments.

It’s not just the steadiness of the turnovers – the six against Ohio were an anomaly – but it’s that they offset the positives from the big plays on the other side.

The ground game isn’t working, and it needs to be merely okay. The Broncos are 3-0 when averaging four yards per carry and 0-7 when it doesn’t.

Central Michigan allows 3.5 yards per carry and only gave up more than four yards per carry four times.

The defensive front should be disruptive against the struggling Western Michigan offensive line, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The turnover margin.

Central Michigan is playing far better than Western Michigan, but the turnovers have been a killer. There will be a few lost fumbles – that’s what Central Michigan does – but the offense works far better than Western Michigan’s.

It’s the final home game of the year for the Chippewas with a chance to keep bowl hopes alive with Eastern Michigan up next week. The O will take over to overcome the big mistakes.

Why Western Michigan Will Win

The passing game has been terrific so far.

Kaleb Eleby has hit 71% of his passes for 546 yards and six touchdowns – three in each of the two games – with two touchdown dashes. Central Michigan hasn’t faced anyone with a decent passing game, and while the secondary has been fine, it’s about to get hit hard.

Western Michigan has the defensive front to consistently be accurate in the backfield, the offensive line is giving Eleby and company a whole lot of time to work, and the O has yet to turn the ball over.

Why Central Michigan Will Win

The Chippewa defense – again, it hasn’t played any high-powered offenses – has been brilliant on third downs, holding Ohio and Northern Illinois to six conversions in 26 chances.

Overall, the D is the best in the MAC in yards allowed and scoring, and it’s getting the job done with takeaways, a ton of stops against the run in key spots, and just enough of a grinding running game to keep things moving.

What’s Going To Happen

Central Michigan is well coached, it’s playing well, and it has a decent talent base that’s only going to get better with more experience. However, Western Michigan has the all-around skill and scheme to push Buffalo for the honor as the MAC’s top team.

WMU has beaten CMU twice in a row and five times in the last six. The Bronco offense will be just efficient enough in the second half on the road to survive a fun, spirited fight.
