San Jose State Spartans vs Eastern Michigan Eagles Prediction: Defend Against Attack

San Jose State Spartans and Eastern Michigan Eagles square off in one of the most exciting bowl matches, the Idaho Potato Bowl 2022. Eastern Michigan ended the year on a high with 3 straight wins, while San Jose Spartans overturned a 2 game losing streak with a final match win against Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. Who will come out on top at the end of this game?

After back to back losses, the Spartans fought hard to win their final game against Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 27:14. They ended the campaign with a 7-4 overall record and got their place in the Idaho Potato Bowl. Critically, the Spartans are not the best in attack. Record shows they win their games on defense and the lack of attacking power has affected them greatly. Against an offensively better team, they would need to rely hugely on the defense unit to pull off a win here. 

The Eagles only lost 1 game in their last 5, winning 3 games on the bounce. Their last game ended in a 38:19 win against Central Michigan Chippewas. The Eastern Eagles ended the campaign with a 8-4 overall record. The Eagles are not the best attacking team, but they have shown balance throughout the season. On some occasions they have struggled defensively, and they might want to concentrate on that if they want to win this game.

It is a competition between an attacking team and a defensive team and it is difficult to predict who will come out on top despite the odds being in the favor of the Spartans. So each team will need to be on top of their game here. So I expect a tight match between these two teams.
