College Football Betting Preview: Bowling Green Falcons vs. W. Michigan Broncos

November 21, 2023



The Bowling Green Falcons will travel to Kalamazoo, Michigan to face the Western Michigan Broncos at Waldo Stadium in week 13 of the college football season with the game scheduled to start at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday evening and will air on ESPNU.

Bowling Green nearly pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the conference last week as they only lost to the Toledo Rockets at home by 1 point, however, with the loss the Falcons saw their four-game winning streak come to an end while also seeing their record drop to 6-5 this season, however, they are already bowl eligible and will be playing in a bowl game this season. The offense for the Bowling Green Falcons has looked like one of the best offenses in the MAC over their last five games as they have averaged 33.8 points per game during that time. Bowling Green also had a 28-17 lead heading into the 4th quarter against the Toledo Rockets, however, the Rockets would score 15 of the next 18 points to win the game. The Falcons will look to bounce back from the loss when they travel to face the Western Michigan Broncos on Tuesday evening.

Following their 0-24 shutout loss last week against the Northern Illinois Huskies, the Western Michigan Broncos will not become bowl eligible this season as with the loss they enter this game with a record of 4-7 which also makes it the 2nd straight season the Broncos have finished with a losing record. Western Michigan only had 206 total yards offensively against Northern Illinois in the loss which was their lowest total this season. However, the Broncos will look to finish this season on a winning note when they host the Bowling Green Falcons.

BookMaker has the Bowling Green Falcons listed as 2.5-point favorites on the road against the Western Michigan Broncos on Tuesday evening in week 13 of the college football season. Western Michigan has won six of the last ten and two of the last three meetings while going 6-4 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series. The Bowling Green Falcons are 7-4 ATS overall, 4-2 ATS on the road, 3-1 ATS as a favorite, and 4-3 ATS in conference games this season while the Western Michigan Broncos are 7-4 ATS overall, 3-1 ATS at home, 3-4 ATS as an underdog, and 5-2 ATS in conference games on the year.

Bowling Green is the better team this season and has been the better team in the series, winning six of the last ten and two of the last three meetings. The Falcons are 6-4 ATS in the last ten and 2-1 ATS in the last three games in the series while also having been one of the better teams in the conference at covering the spread as they are 7-4 ATS overall and 3-1 ATS as a favorite this season. I look for the Bowling Green Falcons to get the win and cover in this matchup which is why I am buying the .5 point and laying the points with the Falcons when they travel to face the Western Michigan Broncos on Tuesday evening.
