While Oakland&#8217;s record might be inflated due to their weak schedule, they remain a talented team with strong offensive firepower. Eastern Michigan is a solid team at home, but they might be outmatched against a more athletic and deeper Oakland squad. The Over seems like the safer bet due to both teams&#8217; high-scoring offenses and the potential for a fast-paced game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCAA Basketball for the match between the Eastern Michigan Eagles and the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, scheduled for December 8, 2023, at the George Gervin GameAbove<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":14005,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,7,1],"tags":[74,46,57,87,83,95,90,100,75,98,94,101,99],"class_list":["post-13999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basketball","category-other-sports","category-uncategorized","tag-ai-sports-betting-picks","tag-ai-sports-picks","tag-ai-sports-picks-ats","tag-basketball-picks-against-the-spread","tag-basketball-picks-tonight","tag-college-basketball-free-pick","tag-college-basketball-free-picks","tag-eastern-michigan","tag-free-sports-picks","tag-ncaa-basketball-free-picks","tag-ncaa-basketball-picks-against-the-spread","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-vs-eastermichigan-matchup","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/images-8.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13999"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14017,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13999\/revisions\/14017"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
