This has the prospect of being a very one-sided affair. Zips have been terrible this year, rooted to the bottom of the standings, while their adversaries are quite high up in the standings with a good run of results. While Irons is an excellent performer, his heroics won’t be enough to earn his side a win tonight.
Eastern Michigan Eagles: -7 (-107)
