They won't be favored thanks to a biased system, but they should win.

That farm school from Columbus has a bigger MAC bullseye on its back now.

When WMU wins, I hope I don't hear "upset" mentioned. If this game were on a neutral field, WMU would have to be favored. Should be a good start to a season of MAC vs BCS games.

It's too bad WMU might be a year late for a big percieved win. Last year everybody was all up on Utah for beating UM and I believe it was the first step in getting their name out there, even after UM was shown to be not so good. I'm not saying it won't be a good win when WMU wins, I just don't think it'll hold the same weight as it would have just one year ago.
I can't wait for football season.

Despite UM's recent woes, the Broncos will still need to play a near-perfect game to beat them in AA. With a brand new secondary and untested wide receiving corps, no win can be assumed.
When the Vegas line comes out, I'm guessing we'll be tabbed as underdogs by roughly 7 points.

notwithstanding Appy State's win two years ago, I believe is easier to beat a UoM during the middle of the season (catch them sleeping) then opening week.

I'll guess 11.5 points.
I was thinking 11.47 points

A friend of mine works for the Las Vegas sports club who set the morning line odds and he said as of now it looks like WMU will be a half point underdog. Remember thats as of now. Pretty good since they will be playing in AA

Going and hoping to be the one celebrating out of my family. Meeting up with friends and GO BRONCOS.

So the Vegas sports books are biased?

No, the betters are. The line will start out at a point to encourage betting. Say WMU starts off as 1/2 point underdogs. Which way do you think betters will drive the line? My guess is that by kickoff WMU will be an underdog by at least a touchdown.
