Blitzalytics Analysis
Line Central Michigan (-7) Over/Under 54 Against the Spread - Miami-Ohio (6-6)
Central Michigan (9-3)
These two teams are trending in opposite directions going into this game. Miami-Ohio
is trending down after barely beating one of the worst teams in FBS football in Akron and getting blown out after holding a 24-7 lead against Ball State. Central Michigan has averaged 46 points over their last three contests against Northern Illinois, Toledo and Ball State.
The Degenerate Menace Says: Everyone who cares about this game will be watching the injury report. The RedHawks aren’t exactly world-beaters when they have their starting quarterback. However, if Brett Gabbert doesn’t play, Central Michigan wins easily.
Prediction: Central Michigan 31 - Miami-Ohio 14
