Wagner vs Central Michigan Prediction 

Central Michigan is licking their wounds after Michigan scored 63 points on them last week, but they should be able to bounce back with a win here. The Chippewas really struggle to pass the ball, but they have a decent rushing attack and should be able to move it against this Wagner defense. On the other side, I have no faith in Wagner’s offense and we saw CMU look great defensively against San Jose State in their opener. Take Central Michigan to cover here.
