Despite the title, let’s start with the depth chart:
The only change of note is that Jackson Balter has been named the starting punter, after two blocked punts against Old Dominion the coaching staff appears to be shaking things up on the punting unit.

Injury Report:
Both teams missing one of their weapons in the passing game, but both players have been out at least a week, and are listed as ‘questionable’ for this weeks game
| Name | Pos | Updated | Injury | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jovany Ruiz (BUF) | WR | 9/26 | Undisclosed | QUESTIONABLE | Ruiz has missed the previous two contests with a left knee injury, and its is unclear if he will play in the tilt against Western Michigan on Saturday. |
| Brett Borske (WMU) | TE | 9/26 | Knee | QUESTIONABLE | Borske has missed the previous four contests due to a knee injury, and it is unknown if he will suit up to take on Buffalo on Saturday. |
Odds:
Right now WMU is a 6.5 point favorite, I feel like if the game is that close UB wins but there is the potential for a blowout in favor of the Broncos.
| Favorite | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Western Michigan | -7 | 59.5 |
