IDAHO over Western Michigan - They’ve split the 2 recent meetings with the road team surprisingly winning both SU/ATS. In 2008 the Vandals hosted the Broncos losing 51-28 (-8) and they ret’d the favor winning 33-13 (-3’) in Kalamazoo in 2010. After having their opener susp’d due to weather vs Florida, ID traveled to ULM LW and nearly pulled the outright upset, allowing the GW td w/:09 left to fall 38-31 (+14). This is a much improved tm with 17 ret st’rs and many incoming JUCO’s. WM is off a bye after losing at PU 43-34 (+8’) despite having 24-22 FD and 456-407 yd edges. However, that performance was lessened greatly after we watched Purdue get rolled by C Mich LW by 3 td’s. This is the 1st time WM has traveled this far west since their ‘08 matchup here. Another added edge to ID here is the fact that they hired former UMass HC Charlie Molnar as WR cch and he played W Mich LY and has knowledge of the team. Also add in the fact, we won a Underdog POW on these pages LY with ID at home vs a tm travelling across the country early in the ssn (beat Temple 26-24, +7’). The Vandals roll here. FORECAST: IDAHO by 140
