Western Michigan vs Bowling Green Best Bet: Western Michigan +8.5

Western Michigan started the season poorly and, at one point, was sitting at 1-3. Since then, the Broncos have been hot, going 4-0 in October. However, the team is coming off their first loss in a month after falling to NIU. After their bye week, Western Michigan is looking for a win, and there’s no better time than against a conference rival. 

However, Bowling Green is on a four-game winning streak, and the Falcons have looked the best they have all season after finding their identity. The Broncos may not be able to steal a win on the road, but they could keep the game close enough to lose by less than nine points.

Western Michigan Best Player Bet: Jaden Nixon 110+ Rushing Yards +124

Jaden Nixon has been arguably the best offensive player for the Broncos all season long. The running back is up to 847 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on the season. In a matchup Western Michigan may need to rely on their explosive rushing attack, Nixon could be in line for a big day. The junior has rushed for 110+ yards five times this season and could be on track to do it again.

Bowling Green Best Player Bet: Harold Fannin Jr. 100+ Receiving Yards +110

Harold Fannin Jr. has taken the nation by storm this season as he’s been among the top pass catchers in all college football. Not only are his numbers impressive for a pass catcher alone, but his 1,033 receiving yards and six touchdowns through nine games as a tight end is a feat of its own. In an offense that relies on him heavily, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the junior surpass the 100-yard mark again, especially against a Western Michigan team that has struggled on defense at times.
