There are only a few games, Western and Toledo, where I would be shocked to see us win. But they all are going to be hard.
I think I agree with Bigfoot that EMU will be motivated after their loss and will be a tough out. Hard for us to get back focused after a win.
We have no experience winning, this is a problem...
It's not completely clear how we are going to react if we lose a few, either, although this team seems much more together mentally than last year.
We beat Western Michigan last year. I see no reason why we can’t beat them again this year. They are rated about 10 pts better neutral field than we are this year.

I don't see it. It won’t be easy, but my reasoning would be that this team is better than last year. How they play against EMU will tell us a lot.

But maybe not that much better than in that one game last year, and WMU could easily be better than the team we beat that game last year. Hope you are right, maybe this will be the game we both run and pass the ball well! The defense is definitely better, but I would expect us to win only if it were a high scoring affair and we get the ball last.
