The Bowling Green Falcons should be favored at home as they’re playing the better football, but this game should be competitive. The Western Michigan Broncos are only piling up the losses because their offense is absolutely dreadful, but they’re going up against a Bowling Green that’s 111th in total defense and 122nd in scoring defense. Even with its struggles and being on the road, Western Michigan will have its chances to steal this game. I’ll take a shot with the road dog.
