Why is my EIC lower this year? I fall under the same AGI tax bracket and nothing has changed regarding my dependents or deductions.. any help?

Was your income from working more -- or less---than last year?   Your EIC is based on how much you earned from working--so if that changes, your EIC changes.   Sometimes more income means less EIC.
