Ohio has been pretty solid against Group of Five competition this season.
The Bobcats are 6-3, with two of their losses being against Syracuse and Kentucky. They are 4-1 against MAC opponents, with their only loss there being at Miami (Ohio).
That means Ohio still has a good chance of making it to the conference title game. But since the league standings are so close, the Bobcats will want to continue winning this evening at home against Eastern Michigan (5-4, 2-3). EMU is still playing for bowl-eligibility, so the Bobcats will need to be ready.

Eastern Michigan vs. Ohio Prediction
I predict Ohio will win but Eastern Michigan will cover the spread at +11.5. I also project the game will go Under 51.5 total points.
Ohio has put up a decent amount of points in recent weeks, but I think this Eastern Michigan game will prove to be a little bit more difficult.
Just a couple weeks ago, EMU was in the mix to compete for the MAC Championship. Back-to-back losses against Akron and Toledo might prevent that from happening, but the Eagles still have a good team and have something to play for – bowl-eligibility.
Ohio does have four MAC wins, but those games were against teams that are currently in the bottom half of the conference standings. I’m anticipating Ohio will find a way to win at home, but I’m also expecting this contest to be decided by a touchdown or less.
