– Player Prop #2: Langston Lewis (CMU) / Under 225.5 Passing Yards / -110 / 64% / CMU recent games show limited aerial volume (low totals vs Wyoming/Colgate); EMU pass defense holds opponents under 230 in last three supporting the Under.

⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and money show mild alignment toward Eastern Michigan with no sharp divergence or heavy reverse line movement, supporting a follow on the home side rather than a fade. Offensive averages (EMU 21.3 PPG, CMU recent low-teens to mid-20s) combined with defensive solidity point to a lower-scoring MAC battle under the 45.5 total. Overall edge favors the home favorite in a tight rivalry game without major injury disruptions noted in available data.
