Western Michigan Broncos 2025 Season Preview

The Western Michigan Broncos enter the 2025 season with head coach Lance Taylor in his third year, aiming to build on their recent successes in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The team will play their home games at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan. 

Offensively, the Broncos will rely on quarterback Blake Bosma, who has been named to the Mackey Award Preseason Watch List. The offensive line, featuring returning veteran Marshall Jackson, will be crucial in providing protection and establishing the running game. 

Defensively, the Broncos face challenges with the loss of several key players. The team will rely on experienced defensive backs Demarko Williams and Kent Robinson to anchor the secondary. The defensive line and linebacker corps will need to step up to maintain the Broncos' defensive prowess.

The 2025 schedule presents a mix of non-conference and MAC matchups. The season opener against Michigan State on August 29 sets the tone for the year. Other key non-conference games include matchups against North Texas, Illinois, and Rhode Island. Conference play begins with a home game against Central Michigan on November 1. The Broncos will also face Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan in conference play. 

Betting on the Western Michigan Broncos

Western Michigan Point Spreads

Point spreads are a popular bet one can make on either team in a college football game and are based on the margin of victory for the winning team.

A Western Michigan spread might look like this:

• Western Michigan +3.5 (-110)
• Bowling Green -3.5 (-110)

A 31-28 loss for Western Michigan is still a win for spread bettors since the three-point margin of defeat is less than the 3.5-point spread. Spread tickets on the Broncos would cash with any loss of three or fewer points, or an outright win.

Western Michigan Moneylines

While spread bets depend on the amount of the victory, moneyline bets are a bit simpler, as all that matters is which team wins. Let's look at an example:

• Western Michigan -160
• Toledo +180

The minus (-) and plus (+) signs distinguish the favorite from the underdog, making Western Michigan the favorite in this scenario. Odds can be understood more clearly if you think in terms of $100 increments. A wager on the Broncos odds would mean every $160 bet nets $100. And it's the opposite for underdogs: Here, the Toledo moneyline was set at +180, meaning a $100 wager would profit $180.

Moneylines are also commonly used when making parlays, which are multiple bets tied into one. Let’s say you bet on Western Michigan's moneyline and the Over, both bets would need to win for that parlay to be successful. The risk may be greater, but so is the reward with increased odds.

Western Michigan Futures

Futures are somewhat similar to prop bets in the way both are monitored over the course of a season. However, most future bets are focused on end of season success. Examples of futures are:

• Western Michigan Broncos odds to win the MAC
• Western Michigan Broncos odds to reach the College Football Playoff

If you think the Broncos can win the MAC championship this season, this is the bet to make. These types of bets are called futures, and they're just wagers on things that settle at the end of the year. For a full list of college football futures, click or tap here.
