The model favored WKU to win, and the call landed.

Well, folks, Western Kentucky is absolutely favored here at 99 percent to get the win, and honestly there's not much mystery why. The Hilltoppers have got the full advantage here: Vegas has them as a 40 and a half point favorite, they've got the superior Elo rating, and they've been clicking on offense over these last five games. Mercyhurst is going to need to play a near-perfect game to pull off what would be an absolute shocker, but that's why we play it out on the field.
