WMU 6.5 Point Favorites vs Miami U
WMU 6.5 favorites over Miami U


Just one thing of note. There is actually a misspelling that sticks out.

RE: WMU 6.5 Point Favorites vs Miami U
In Drew's column leading up to the Ohio game, he cautioned that the Broncos would have to avoid a "letdown." But I didn't really expect a letdown. We were a road-weary team finally playing at home, on Homecoming in front of a good crowd, against a decent team.

I think the risk of a letdown is greater with Miami. On the road again, playing in front of 1/3 full stadium, against a "bad" (albeit improving) team.

Yep. Miami's O can catch fire. Their D, while being Bad, can only improve -- and our O *can* be stopped, despite it also being able to catch fire. I could see it as a game where we don't play to our full potential and stumble too much. Heck, we are due NOT to beat the spread, right? Well, maybe that's why the spread is only 6.5.

I haven't analyzed it yet -- but off the top of my head: WMU 34, Miami 27 (A bit of a scare at first, but we pull away)

I have bet against WMU for the most part. Didn't touch em' this past week, and won't against Miami. Covering again would put them at 8-1 against the spread. That's nuts.

When I was thinking of betting on the Purdue game, at the time the spread was 9, and that was exactly it. Although, I don't know When people count being better worse than the spread.

From one place that has historics:
WMU @ Purdue (-8.5*) - Purdue by 9
WMU @ Idaho (-3) - WMU by 12
WMU @ VaTech (-21) - VaTech by 18
Toledo @ WMU (+6) - Toledo by 1
WMU @ BSU (-1) - WMU by 4
WMU @ BUGS (-3) - WMU by 12
Ohio @ WMU (-8.5) - WMU by 21
6-1 ATS, by Their Spreads.

*Possibly 6-0-1, due to Purdue game varied between 8-9.5 points. I last saw it at 9 from the place I generally look at.

WMU @ Miami-OH (+6.5) - WMU by 7

I would bet on WMU to cover this spread, IF I had to bet (which I wouldn't on this).

I had a good weekend. 5-1, hit on UMass, the Colorado over, Kansas City, Miami, and New Orleans. Lost on the Texas Longhorns.

Hopefully the team is revisiting Chuck Martin's unprovoked mocking of 'RTB' during MAC Media Day.

It's one thing for us fans to poke fun at some of it. But an opposing head coach who's a noob to the conference... Meh.

Western Michigan -6.5 (-115)
Miami Ohio +6.5 (-105)

Costs a little bit more to bet WMU

RE: WMU 6.5 Point Favorites vs Miami U
The team is on a roll, and winning games in a good way. Not just barely winning, but winning with a statement. Offense plays great and defense has been stepping up when they have to (ever since the end of the UT game).

Only one loss in the MAC and that is against the best team in the conference (and we almost won that one). Still, I worry every game. Maybe I have been a Bronco fan too long, and have seen us fall at the most inopportune times too often. I'll take each win as it comes, and won't assume any are going to be wins until the team proves it on the field.

Here's hoping PJ keeps them pumped for another week.

^ Exactly.

I'm actually more worried about the Miami game than I was going into the Ohio homecoming one.

On the road again (sandwiched in between two home games), maybe underestimating Miami a bit with their 2-7 record, and it's their homecoming. They "only" beat Kent last weekend but are also probably feeling good about themselves. Like you said, hopefully Fleck keeps them pumped up and we avoid falling into a little bit of a letdown trap.

Yikes another "homecoming game". I know we have played in four and believe this is five. Oh well, my belief is that the players really enjoy spoiling other schools homecomings this year. I know they were elated over the victory on Saturday. I do not see a let down with this group of players they are motivated, and they have extremely strong team leaders this year.

Always proud to be a Bronco, RTB.

Chuck Martin is a genius, a brilliant hire. Our clown coach is no match.

None the less, we eek out a 17 point win and take a knee on the final play at the Reds goal line.

A hungry dog is a dangerous dog.

Most of our players have never played in a bowl game. Many of our players have had to play through the dark times of the past couple of seasons. They can see that a bowl game somewhere is clearly within reach at this point. I don't see us overlooking anyone or not being ready to play from this point forward. Miami will play hard, but I see us winning comfortably by double digits.
