Eastern Michigan vs Ohio Best Bet: Eastern Michigan +9.5
The Bobcats have been on a roll to start the season, and entering this battle winning four of their last five games, they’ll be tough to stop. Meanwhile, the Eagles have lost three of their previous five games and have struggled to find the consistency they opened the year with. Nonetheless, in a conference battle with a chance to close the gap, Eastern Michigan should put up a good fight against Ohio. Although the Eagles may not steal a win on the road, they could play well enough to keep the margin of victory under ten points.
Eastern Michigan vs Ohio Best Total Bet: Over 49.5
The Eagles enter this matchup, averaging 29.2 points per game, while the Bobcats trail just behind, averaging 26.8. Both squads have shown the ability to put up points quickly but also signs of inconsistency. In what could be a dogfight, a final score of 27-23 could be a realistic outcome.
Eastern Michigan Best Player Bet: Delbert Mimms III Any Time Touchdown +100
The Eagles have relied on their stud running back, Delbert Mimms III, throughout the season. The playmaker is up to 558 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the season, and he could be in line to add to his season totals against the Bobcats on Wednesday. With Eastern Michigan likely depending on their run game to get the offense going, Mimms III could find his way back into the end zone before the game ends.

Ohio Best Player Bet: Coleman Owen 60+ Receiving Yards +108
Coleman Owen has been a huge part of the Bobcats’ offensive game this season and has shown no signs of slowing down. The wide receiver is up to 743 receiving yards on the season and five touchdowns. In five of the team’s nine games this season, Owen has surpassed 60 receiving yards. In a matchup against a struggling Eagles secondary, the senior could be in for a big day.
