Eastern Michigan was good to us last weekend in rallying to beat Central Michigan, and Akron is a lot worse than the Chips are. Akron is a lot worse than a lot of things are. The only reason I'm not crushing this is that it's a possible letdown game for EMU off that huge comeback, and the Zips off a bye week. But Eastern is easily the better team and can't afford a loss to stay in MAC title game contention. EMU ranks 17th nationally in turnover margin at 0.86 per game and 14th nationally in turnovers lost with only five. It leads the nation with nine opposing fumbles recovered.
