From the booth

The model favored EMU to win, and the call landed.

Eastern Michigan comes in here as a heavy favorite, sitting at 97 percent win probability, and you can see why. The Eagles are getting plus 26 and a half from Vegas, they've got better offensive efficiency over their last five games, and their defense has been stingier than Lindenwood's been able to handle. This looks like a matchup where the talent gap is just too wide, and EMU should be able to control this one from start to finish.
