Central Michigan Chippewas vs Western Michigan Broncos Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/01/25

The Central Michigan Chippewas make their way down from Mount Pleasant to historic Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo for this Mid-American Conference rivalry game on Saturday. These schools really do not like each other. Central Michigan enters the game on a roll, too, needing just 1 win for bowl eligibility. It has won four of the past 5 games, while also going 4-1 ATS in the span. That includes a 38-13 pounding of UMass last weekend as a 16.5-point favorite. On the road, CMU is just 2-3 straight up and ATS, but two of those wins are outright victories as an underdog.

Western Michigan has a little more work to do to attain bowl eligibility after a tough 26-17 loss at Miami (OH) last week, snapping a 4-game win and cover streak. After starting 0-3 SU with losses to Michigan State, North Texas and Illinois, Western came alive in the early conference schedule, allowing a total of just 16 points in the first 3 wins, before allowing the 26 to the Redhawks last week. When these teams get together, particularly at Western Michigan, plenty of points are sure to follow. The over has cashed in 4 of the previous five meetings on the Waldo Stadium turf. Let’s lean high in this latest installment, especially with such a low number on the board.
