College Football: Western Kentucky is anywhere from a 5 ½ to 6 ½ point favorite over Central Michigan in the Little Caesar’s Bowl tonight at Ford Field in Detroit. It’s the first bowl appearance since joining FBS for the Hilltoppers, while the Chippewas are making their first bowl appearance since 2010.

Western running back Antonio Andrews is hoping for a big night.  The former Fort Campbell standout is 273 yards of breaking Barry Sanders all purpose yards record for a season at 3,250.  Sanders accomplished the feat while at Oklahoma State in 1988.

The Courier Journal reports Central Michigan is sitting two players for tonight’s game. Sophomore wide receivers Titus Davis and teammate Courtney Williams will miss the game after violation of team rules.

Davis was the leading receiver with 860 yards and 8 touchdowns on the season, while Williams is the third leading receiver at 360 yards this season.

Kickoff at Ford Field is set for just after 6:30, with pre game coverage beginning at 5:30 on Newstalk 95.3 FM/1230 AM WHOP.
