Well, both of these teams posted great records against not-so-great competition, to say the least. None of their losses were bad, but not a single impressive win either. How much of a home-field advantage will Troy have, playing in their own backyard? Well, the weather promises to be colder and uglier than they're used to, which might suite Central Michigan just fine. Both of them like to put up the yards & points, so a shootout might be in order here, especially since Troy's D is below average.

The Line: Troy +3

The Call: Central Michigan by 7

The Result: Central Michigan 44-41

Nice penultimate game for the season. Lotsa offense, as expected, excitement, OT - solid performance from both sides.
